This EU has three objectives:
1) Deepen knowledge of concepts in genetics and evolutionary genomics such as linkage disequilibrium, selection, coalescent theory, detection of natural selection and evolutionary forces acting on genome evolution and the process of genomic speciation.
2) Provide an overview of research topics in evolutionary genomics in the form of educational seminars: molecular evolution, evolutionary genomics of endosymbiosis, chromosomal evolution, and molecular evolution.
3) Finally, the EU is proposing a bioanalysis project using an empirical dataset to understand evolutionary genomics analysis and tackle the increasingly sophisticated bioinformatics aspects of the discipline.

"The objective of this course is to complement the teachings of the first semester by developing issues related to the evolution of phenotypes and the main methodological approaches associated with them. The teachings 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 the formalization of game theory, adaptive dynamics, quantitative genetics approaches, and the comparison of theoretical predictions with empirical data. The course includes:
1) lectures on the main concepts of evolutionary ecology;
2) tutorials focused on document studies and exercises
