About the course
Evolutionary changes in a population can be derived from the following evolutionary processes: mutation, genetic drift, selection and migration. During this course, each of these processes will be studied, with an emphasis on evolutionary changes in natural populations and how such changes can affect speciation. The focus is on both ecological and genetic tools to study and understand evolutionary dynamics in natural systems. During the course, ecological genetics, including quantitative genetics will be treated.
