Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (CEEB) facilitates research and graduate education in ecology and evolutionary biology. The center fosters a collegial and stimulating intellectual environment for world-class research in molecular evolution, evolutionary genetics, evolution of development, and microbial, population, community, and ecosystems ecology.

CEEB maintains close ties to the UO Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geology, and Landscape Architecture, as well as the Institutes for Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, and Marine Biology.Together, CEEB's students and faculty are working in the laboratory and the field to address fundamental and applied questions about the organization and history of life on earth.
