Class Description

A seminar covering the core theory and methodology for comparative biology, including both morphology and molecules, and both living and fossil organisms. We cover how to build phylogenetic trees and how to use them in areas such as systematics, ecology, evolution, development, functional morphology, population genetics, conservation, biogeogeography, and macroevolution. The format will be a mixture of lectures and discussions.
