EVOL211 - Evolution and Biogeography |
||||||||
| Coordinator(s) | Glenda Vaughton (gvaughto@une.edu.au) | ||||||||
| Unit Description |
This unit deals with the fundamental biological processes of evolution within species (microevolution), the evolution of new species and of major groups (macroevolution). These topics provide a framework to understand the distribution of organisms in space and time (ecological and historical biogeography). Case studies will focus on the evolution and origins of Australian animals and plants. The unit will be particularly relevant to students studying biological and environmental science, natural resource management, and archaeology. Assessment will be by practical reports, an essay and an exam. |
