The Evolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems Program
(ETE), Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.
The Evolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems Program
investigates Earth´s land biotas throughout their 400 million year history.
Their goal is to understand how terrestrial ecosystems have been structured and how they
change over geologic time. Using the fossil record, ETE scientists study the characteristics
of ecological communities and the changing dynamics of ecosystems.
