The Program
The Program in Ecology and Conservation
Biology at BGSU is a multidisciplinary program conceptually based on the fields of Ecology and Evolution, and its applied aspects in
Conservation Biology.
The BGSU Program in Ecology and Conservation Biology focuses on the evolutionary and ecological principles underlying patterns and processes influencing biodiversity at multiple scales. A solid understanding of the complex relationships between organisms and their environments in natural systems is essential for mitigating the pressing problems that challenge biodiversity.

*NEW* Ecology & Conservation Biology Specialization |
Our mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate education as well as research training in ecology and conservation biology, providing a foundation in experimental, quantitative and analytical methods necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of biodiversity.
The multidisciplinary nature of this program promotes innovative approaches that integrate basic and applied research in ecology, evolution and conservation biology. This program's mission addresses the unprecedented changes from human-induced impacts on the environment at both the regional and national levels.
Our research program in Ecology and Conservation 
Biology at BGSU extends
from molecules and populations to ecosystems and landscapes. Conceptually based on the basic foundations of Ecology and
Evolution, our research and teaching program utilizes a wide range of cutting-edge techniques (e.g., molecular genetics,
theoretical modeling, GIS, remote sensing, etc.) to address both basic and applied questions in Ecology and Conservation Biology.
To learn more about what types of reseach our faculty and students (undergraduates and graduates) conduct, follow this link. We have weekly seminars where faculty and students present their research in a friendly, informal way and everyone is invited to participate.
