Master of Science [M.S] Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology is currently housed in several buildings on the Storrs campus. About half of the department has new laboratory facilities in the Pharmacy/Biology Building, which also houses the School of Pharmacy and the Department of Physiology and Neurobiology. This building includes a departmental DNA sequencing facility used by many of our systematic biologists. The other half of the department is housed in the Torrey Life Sciences Building, an older facility that is scheduled to be replaced in the next few years with a more modern research building. Internationally important systematic reference collections with over 2,000,000 specimens of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, are maintained by the department in a new Collections Facility in the adjacent Biology/Physics Building, which provides both storage areas and space and computer facilities to facilitate work with the collections.
