Our research
Research within biology and environmental sciences covers a broad field, where the common aspect is how organisms function and interact with each other and their surroundings.
At the department, there are about 100 scientists and PhD-students, working with questions that in one way or the other relate to plants and animals, and the environments in which they live. It spans from what happens within a single cell and how individuals from different species are built and function, to relationship between species and how populations interact with each other and their environment.
The research also includes questions about how factors in the surroundings and not least changes in the environment affect living organisms - here we study anything from chemical and physical factors, nutrients or population density to climate change and environmental pollutions.
