EEB Community of Practice
To keep all students, post-doctoral researchers, staff (including non-departmental staff, such as custodians and facilities service employees) and faculty safe and healthy, EEB has enacted a community of practice for the EEB Department and all activities EEB is associated with, including classroom teaching, research and organizations.

Welcome to the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. EEB is in the top 10% of ecology programs in North America based on research impact (Keville et al., 2017), ahead of peer institutions such as UCLA and UC San Diego. Our faculty and students come from around the globe. Our faculty is a mix of internationally known senior researchers and an energetic group of junior faculty at the cutting edges of their fields. We train graduate and undergraduate students with research interests in ecology, evolutionary biology, animal behavior, conservation biology, behavioral and population genetics, computational biology, development of theory for evolution and ecology, ecosystem and community ecology, global change biology, diverse areas of organismal biology, and biology education.

The flagship campus of the University of Tennessee System and partner in the Tennessee Transfer Pathway.
