Evolutionary ecology and its applications

Through five major themes, we will make the connection between the principles of evolution and evolutionary ecology seen in previous teaching units in a fundamental way and current societal applications.

These five major themes are: human evolution, biodiversity conservation, the domestication of animal and plant species, evolutionary medicine, and major global crises and disruptions.

Fundamental courses in Evolution and Ecology, notably "Fundamentals of Evolution (S4)" and "Evolutionary Ecology: Concepts and Foundations of Formalization (S5)"

The oral exams are conducted in English. Two sessions on comprehension and oral presentation of scientific articles are conducted by English teachers.  

This course unit must be taken in conjunction with HAV621B Evolutionary Ecology and its applications.
