ForBio course: Diversification in Time and Space

The course is given as a online course in the period 27 October – 5 December 2014: http://kurs.vm.ntnu.no/

This course deals with how patterns of biological diversity changes over time and processes causing these changes. Focus will be on understanding micro- and macro-evolutionary processes, how these change species diversity and species distributions, and how to obtain knowledge of species histories. Emphasis will be placed on understanding methods used in analyses of micro- and macro-evolutionary diversification in time and space, and in particular coalescent theory as tool for understanding population genetic processes and inferring phylogenetic patterns.

More information about the workshop and how to register can be found here.

Application deadline is October 20, 2014.
