Genes in Ecology and Ecology in Genes

This research initiative aims to link responses of living systems to environmental change at the genetic level.  Most environmental change studies span only one or two ecological levels, but organismal response to the environment depends on genetic makeup and the interaction of genes with environment.  The question is, which genes are most important for how organisms respond to the environment.

Ecological Genomic Questions...

  • What is the genetic basis for ecological responses to the environment?

  • What are the genetic and regulatory mechanisms involved in organismal responses to environmental change?

  • What is the ecological context necessary to understand gene expression within organisms?

Ecological Genomics in Kansas

Existing strengths at Kansas research universities in genetics and genomics with ecology and evolutionary biology will be used to answer cross-cutting questions that lie at the interface of genomics and ecology.
