Evolutionary biology

The section of Evolutionary Biology is organized into independent groups with expertise in population genetics, molecular ecology, functional genomics and statistical genetics. We address long-standing questions in evolutionary biology using experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches in a variety of organisms.

We also apply evolutionary theory to problems from related fields (e.g. medicine or conservation biology) often in cooperation with local and international partners. To find out more about our research consult the individual research group pages.
