The members of the Field of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are divided into two groups. Those faculty members whose primary membership in a graduate field at Cornell is Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the list below of faculty whose primary field is other than Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, but who are also members of the Field of E&EB. For faculty in the second group their primary graduate field is indicated parenthetically. Students interested in working with a faculty member in the second group should contact the faculty member directly to see which graduate field is most appropriate. (Please note all telephone numbers are preceded by the area code 607, except where indicated.)

While the focus of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell is found in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, there are also numerous faculty and research scientists with interests in ecology and evolutionary biology who are located in other departments on campus. Interactions with members of other departments is encouraged and valued highly. Although it would be impractical to provide a complete list of a such biologists at Cornell, below is a sampling of some of the biologists who share interests in ecology and evolutionary biology. In addition, there are many resources and potentials for interaction with the Laboratory of Ornithology, the Center for the Environment, the Paleontological Research Institution, Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, the Geneva Experiment Station, and the Program on International Agriculture.
