6 Pillars of Research
Understanding ecosystem responses to human impact and creating quantitative tools
for conservation. Using genomic tools and modeling to understand evolution, symbiosis, and environmental
adaptation. Exploring mechanisms of diversification to understand how biological systems evolve
across all scales. Examining how physical form and physiology allow organisms to survive and thrive in
their habitats. Reconstructing past ecosystems and climate to understand the spatial distribution
of biodiversity. Bridging research with policy and education to address global challenges through community
action.6 Pillars of Research
