in diverse academic departments including Biology, Biochemistry, Geography
and Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences. The graduate group boasts
an approximately 40-member faculty that is highly active in research.

The EECB program is particularly strong in ecosystem ecology, population
ecology, wildlife ecology and behavioral and evolutionary ecology. EECB was
also recently ranked as a top-25 research program in conservation biology.

America and elsewhere around the globe.

UNR is located along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, in close
proximity to both desert and montane field sites, allowing students to
