This UE has three objectives:
1) deepen knowledge of genetic and evolutionary genomics concepts such as linkage disequilibrium, selection, coalescence theory, detection of natural selection and evolutionary forces acting on genome evolution and the process of genomic speciation.
2) Offer an overview of research themes in evolutionary genomics in the form of educational seminars: molecular evolution, evolutionary genomics of endosymbioses, chromosome evolution and molecular evolution.
3) Finally, the EU proposes a project for the bioanalysis of an empirical dataset to understand the analysis of evolutionary genomics and get to grips with the bioinformatics aspects increasingly developed in the discipline.
Evolutionary ecology
ECTS

Faculty of Science
"The aim of this course is to complement the first semester's teaching by developing the issues involved in the evolution of phenotypes and the main associated methodological approaches. Lessons will address the evolution of different types of traits (life-history traits, traits involved in reproductive strategies, traits involved in biotic interactions, quantitative traits). The main approaches covered include game-theoretic formalization, adaptive dynamics, quantitative genetic approaches and the work of confronting theoretical predictions with empirical data. Teaching includes:
1) lectures on the main concepts of evolutionary ecology;
2) tutorials focusing on document studies and exercises".

"This module introduces table management and the link between multivariate and univariate: matrix manipulation and common operations; notion of projection and distance; translation of descriptive and univariate statistics with multiple regression/ACP/AFD as an example; indices of (dis)similarity, distance; correlation".
