MEET SOME OF THE
EEB FACULTY
EEB faculty are a group of highly interdisciplinary researchers whose expertise cover the broad range of important research in ecology, evolution and behavior, and beyond. Faculty are quantitative and focus on big data and models, and their work is organismal based, including working on human-nature interactions. Faculty members’ research informs and enriches their teaching.
EEB in the News
- Armsworth Named Fellow of Ecological Society of AmericaThe Ecological Society of America (ESA) announced Professor Paul Armsworth, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, among its cohort of 2025 ESA Fellows. He joins seven other new fellows and 10 new early career fellows.
- Lessons to Learn from Fascinating FernsJacob Suissa is known for his enthusiastic approach to teaching about botany, both in the classroom as a professor of evolutionary biology at UT and through the non-profit “Let’s Botanize” social-media platform. He has now channeled that green-world energy into a new book about the complex history of one of the planet’s most enduring plants.
- Meeting Merges Networks for Microbial DataThe Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) hosted a meeting of 34 scientists from around the world March 20–23, 2025, to build a synthetic vision for the field of plant-microbe interactions across space, time, and levels of biological organization: molecules, to organisms, to ecosystems.
