Evolutionary processes
Course description
This graduate course in evolutionary biology emphasizes the various evolutionary processes rather than descriptions of states, patterns and the methods to establish them. It covers all levels of biological organization, and temporal and spatial scales. It does so by a conceptual and general approach, although ample reference will be made to well-known organisms and biological system. When appropriate, examples from experimental evolution will be discussed from a theoretical perspective.
Course organization
The course will be run for 5 days during one week. The course will have
elements from genetics (molecular, population, quantitative), ecology,
developmental biology and paleontology. There is mathematics, but not
beyond basic algebra and simple calculus. The course is explicitly
interdisciplinary and synthesizing.
Pre-requisites
The course is open to all GENECO students regardless of affiliation or research agenda.
