Seminars in Paleontology

"This EU will take the form of a series of a dozen lectures/seminars on current research topics in vertebrate paleontology and evolutionary biology; biodiversity and paleobiodiversity of continental ecosystems (animal); topographic and climatic barriers vs. dispersal and vicariance; community structuring, trophic chains through time and paleoguilds; role of Geodynamics and contingency (crises). The main objective is to acquire a good knowledge of the current research themes/axes in the paleontological/evolutionary community.

"Acquire a good knowledge of current research themes/axes in the paleontological/evolutionary community; Develop critical thinking skills, Synthesize disparate information; Aggregate data around crosscutting themes and axes in paleontology. "

Good knowledge of past biodiversity and taxonomic groups in vertebrates.

Continuous assessment : 100%.
