  • Turbek et al
    A new study published in Science led by EBIO PhD student Sheela Turbek (Taylor lab) used genomes and behavioral experiments to identify potential isolating factors of two closely related South American bird species. Turbek et al.
  • keyes et al
    How do ecosystem services respond when species go locally extinct? A new study published in Nature Communications led by Aislyn Keyes, EBIO PhD student in Laura Dee's group, explores this question using network analysis.
  • diversity
    As part of ongoing work to make the EBIO department and also the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology more equitable and inclusive, we are in the midst of a long-term process to build a common understanding of the barriers and biases that are
  • Nash
    CU EBIO student Austin Nash has been awarded a $15,000 scholarship from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) for his research on how climate change influences mammals across landscapes, and the role that microclimates might play in conserving
  •  Evolution of the endothelin pathway drove neural crest cell diversification
    In this Nature article all authors are former/current CU EBIO graduate students, undergrads, postdoc, and staff! CRISPR-Cas9-mediated disruption of the endothelin-signaling pathway in the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus and the frog Xenopus laevis were used to delineate ancient and lineage-specific roles of endothelin signaling and provide insights into vertebrate evolution.)
  • black lives matter
    The EBIO community shares in the pain and frustration over the recent horrific killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and other acts of violence against Black Americans. We stand in solidarity with all who are speaking out against

  • A fungus is killing off Boreal toads, a type of toad specifically adapted to high-altitude life in the southern Rocky Mountains.
    Can soaking tadpoles in a purple probiotic bath save the Colorado Boreal Toad? Tim Korpita, a graduate student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology attempts to answer that question.
