Theodosius Dobzhansky’s statement that "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution" is even more actual in the era of modern biology. All organisms are related in a common tree of life and the diverse and extraordinary adaptations that allow organisms to function have evolved through natural and sexual selection. Information on evolution and the application of principles learned from the study of evolution also have many practical uses in diverse fields such as geology, plant and animal breeding, computer science, and epidemiology.
The section of Evolutionary Biology of the School covers a broad range of research areas which include evolutionary ecology (including animal behaviour); plant and animal physiology; evo-devo in invertebrates, molecular evolution of fruit development, sexual selection and sperm competition, population genetics and molecular systematics and phylogeny.
