Evolutionary Processes

Evolutionary processes include the study of the causes of genetic change and the resulting organization of genes into genomes, genetic variation within and between populations, and understanding how genetic changes lead to changes in phenotype. Evolutionary biologists in EEB study a broad array of processes underlying evolutionary change ranging from mechanisms of genome evolution, the developmental basis of species differences, adaptive divergence of ecological and sexual characters, to the influence of models of speciation on patterns of biodiversity.
