This collection represents a sample of faculty work from the Biology Department. The Biology Department faculty members have an extensive knowledge of modern biology from molecules and cells through organisms, populations, and ecosystems, and their instruction emphasizes the conceptual, historical, and technical progression of biological science. Many faculty members have specialization in specific areas of biology.
