Seminars in paleontology

This EU will take the form of a series of a dozen conferences/seminars on current research topics in vertebrate paleontology and evolutionary biology; biodiversity and paleobiodiversity of continental ecosystems (animal); topographic and climatic barriers vs. dispersion and vicariance; community structure, food chains over time, and paleoguilds; the role of geodynamics and contingency (crises). The main objective is to acquire a good understanding of the current research topics/areas in the paleontological/evolutionary community."

"Acquire a good understanding of current topics/areas of research in the paleontological/evolutionary community; Develop critical thinking skills; Synthesize disparate information; Aggregate data around cross-cutting themes and areas in paleontology."

Good knowledge of past biodiversity and taxonomic groups among vertebrates.
