Ziele/Aims Comprehensive review and application of fundamental concepts in evolutionary biology; project and group oriented learning of the scientific process; presentation of independent scientific projects both in oral and written form.
Inhalte/Content This module provides a comprehensive review and hands on practices of fundamental concepts in evolutionary biology (e.g. evolutionary theories and history, population genetics/genomics, speciation, extinction, biodiversity, biogeography, sex and sexual selection, fitness, systematics and phylogenetics, quantitative genetics, as well as human evolution). Furthermore, the students will learn to plan, conduct and present independent scientific projects they develop during the course. The projects will be partly computer-based, and the students will test a developed hypothesis e.g. by conducting multiple sequence alignments, constructing phylogenetic trees using several tree building methods, etc.
Methoden/Methods Development of biological questions/hypotheses; application of different bioinformatics software to generate e.g. multiple sequence alignments or phylogenetic trees.
