There are two goals of this REU site: * To train promising undergraduate students, from the University of Colorado and other colleges and universities, in modern research methods in the related disciplines of ecology, evolution and behavior * To encourage undergraduate students, especially members of groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, to enter graduate school in the biological sciences. To this end, the participating faculty are committed to significantly involving undergraduate students in their research, to interacting with undergraduates at both a professional and personal level, and to introducing undergraduates to research in ways that will encourage them to pursue a graduate career in the biological sciences.
