| Theoretical and Computational Ecology (IBED-TCE) | Research in the Department of Theoretical and Computation Ecology focuses on understanding the complexity of ecological systems by using theoretical and advanced computational approaches. |
| Ecosystems and Landscape dynamics (IBED-ELD) | The Ecology and Landscape Dynamics research department improves our understanding of the functioning and dynamics of abiotic and biotic components of (geo-)ecosystems across landscapes through time. |
| Freshwater and Marine Ecology (IBED-FAME) | The department of Freshwater & Marine Ecology aims to increase our understanding of the biodiversity and dynamics of freshwater and marine ecosystems from the level of molecules and genes to entire ecosystems. |
| Evolutionary and Population Biology (IBED-EPB) | Research in the department of Evolutionary and Population Biology focuses on understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive community dynamics and speciation, and determine biodiversity patterns. |
