GRADUATE REQUIREMENT LIST FOR Ph. D. STUDENTS
Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior Program
Graduate Ecology Course (800 Level - l course)
BOT826 Tropical Biology: An Ecological Approach (OTS)
ENT844 Insect Ecology and Evolution
FW824 Analysis of Wildlife Population
FW877 Fish Population Dynamics
FOR804 Forest Ecology
ZOL822 Topics in Ethology and Behavioral Ecology
ZOL896 Population and Community Ecology

Graduate Evolution Course (800 Level - l course)
ZOL/BOT849 Evolutionary Biology
* FW828 Conservation Genetics
* FOR842 Population Genetics
* ZOL855 Molecular Evolution
*These are advanced courses and require prior broad evolutionary biology background.
Many EEBB students will prefer to take the more general broadly based Evolutionary Biology BOT/ZOL 849 course. Those students who already have a strong background in evolutionary biology may elect to take one of the more advanced courses listed above (*), but must receive approval of the instructor(s). Of course, more than one evolution course may be taken upon suggestion by the students’ guidance committee.
Quantitative Methods Course (800 Level - l course)**
EEBB doctoral candidates are required to complete STT 464 and STT 465, or courses that are equivalent in coverage, and to complete one course from the following list:
ANS870/943 Techniques of Analyzing Unbalanced Research Data
CSS921 Contemporary Statistical Models in Biology
FW850 Applied Multivariate Statistical Methods
FW853 Applied Systems Modeling and Simulation for Natural Resource Management
FW857 Theoretical Ecology
ZOL851 Quantitative Methods in Ecology and Evolution
(plus attending EEBB Seminar Series each semester)
Ph.D. candidates must have at least two EEBB faculty members on their guidance committee. One EEBB faculty member must serve as the student's Ph.D. advisor.
