Evolutionary Biology
The Department of Evolutionary Biology runs a graduate research program in Evolutionary Genetics and we are also responsible for undergraduate education in genetics, genomics and molecular evolution for students in biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics.

Monitoring of Large Carnivores
For nearly two decades, DNA-analyses of wolverine have been conducted at the Programme of Evolutionary Biology on behalf of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The DNA-analyses are a part of the carnivore management program.
