Evolution and adaptation

Studies being conducted at URI contribute to our understanding of the impacts of climate change on wildlife, the mechanisms that impact biological invasions, and genome evolution and reduction in parasite populations. Researchers are also looking into ways of transforming plants, to provide sustainable solutions for agriculture and biofuel production.
