Background

Scope and Content:

Administrative files (correspondence, records of various teams, etc.) and department publications.

Biographical / Historical:

The Department of Biology was officially founded in 1986, however in 2001 it was decided that it should be restructured and split into two separate departments. These became the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). In 2011, the Department of EEB merged with the Herbarium and the Museum of Zoology, when Deborah Goldberg served the Chair of the Department. As of 2016, Diarmaid O'Foighil has the position of the Department Chair and of the Curator of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology. The department strives to embrace education and research on all aspects of biodiversity, including the history of life on earth, evolutionary mechanisms that generate diversity, the ecological context in which all life has evolved, and consequences of interactions among organisms, including humans.
