Ecology is the study of the interactions between living organisms and their

environment. Ecologies, in the plural, would however be more appropriate as

shown by the various facets of this interdisciplinary science that are being

explored by researchers from four UPS laboratories.

Topics being studied include the mechanisms involved in biodiversity dynamics to the regulation of organic matter fluxes in landscapes. Such collaboration between research teams together with their well-recognized expertise in evolution and functional ecology make the Toulouse campus one of the prime research centres in France.
