This course is designed to focus on evolutionary theory in relation to the origins and dynamics of genetic diversity in time and space, reproductive isolation and evolutionary relationships among organismal groups. The student shall investigate how interactions among mutation, recombination, selection, migration and genetic drift drive that patterns and process of biodiversity at different levels of biological organization. This course consists of lectures, computer exercises and independent projects to develop their evolutionary thinking and to solve problems in evolution, ecology and conservation biology.
