Course Details
• Advanced Molecular Evolution: This unit will cover the mechanisms of molecular evolution, including natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation. It will also delve into the role of various evolutionary forces in shaping genetic diversity within and between species.
• Mathematical Modeling in Evolutionary Biology: This unit will provide an overview of the mathematical models used to study evolutionary processes. Topics will include population genetics, game theory, and phylogenetic analysis.
• Evolutionary Genomics: This unit will cover the latest advances in genomics and how they relate to evolutionary biology. Topics will include genome sequencing, gene expression, and comparative genomics.
• Evolution of Development: This unit will explore the evolution of developmental processes in animals and plants. It will cover topics such as evolutionary developmental biology, morphology, and genetics.
• Behavioral Ecology and Evolution: This unit will cover the evolution of behavior in animals and its ecological context. Topics will include sexual selection, social behavior, and foraging theory.
• Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Diseases: This unit will explore the evolutionary ecology of infectious diseases, including the evolution of drug resistance and the ecological factors that influence the emergence and spread of infectious diseases.
• Macroevolution: This unit will cover the patterns and processes of macroevolution, including the origin and diversification of major clades, mass extinctions, and the role of developmental and genetic constraints in shaping evolutionary trajectories.
• Evolutionary Genetics of Populations: This unit will cover the principles of population genetics, including the genetic structure of populations, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. It will also cover the use of genetic data to infer population history and demography.
• Human Evolution: This unit will cover the evolutionary history of humans, including the fossil record, genetics, and behavior. It will also explore the evolutionary processes that have shaped human diversity and the implications of human evolution for understanding human health and disease.
