Conservation & Restoration Biology
Research studies invasive species, ecosystems and their degredation, and means of restoring ecosystems in an exceptionally wide range of land and aquatic environments, including the everglades, the Bahamas, Central and South America and Malaysia. Faculty include Drs.DeAngelis, Fleming, Gaines, Green, Horvitz, Janos, Potts, Prince, Sealy, Tokarz, Waddington, Whitlock and several adjunct faculty.
The Biological invasions researcher skills exchange database, hosted by Biology, is a public database where people studying invasive species can find potential collaborators with skills that they seek. The database is open to registration by anyone working on invasive species ecology. It also offers links to various other web sites on invasive species.
