Evolutionary Ecology and Its Applications

Through five major themes, we will explore the fundamental connections between the principles of evolution and evolutionary ecology—as covered in previous course units—and their 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.

Core EU courses in Evolution and Ecology, including "Fundamentals of Evolution (S4)" and "Evolutionary Ecology: Concepts and Foundations of Formalization (S5)"

The oral exams are conducted in English. English teachers lead two sessions on reading comprehension and oral summarization of scientific articles.  

This course must be taken in conjunction with HAV621B Evolutionary Ecology and Its Applications.
