Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course uses both theoretical and practical approaches to provide a comprehensive overview of the origin of the various basal vertebrate lineages and their taxonomic diversity through time within a phylogenetic and evolutionary framework. This course examines the evolution of major vertebrate novelties and the impact of variable preservation potentials on their fossil record. Students will explore key Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic localities.

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be two continual assessments, each of which will account for 50% of the total mark. The evaluation is based on points. The exact procedure will be explained on the first day of the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

More than 60% must be achieved from both continual assessments.

Examination topics

1. Drawings of a representative specimens (at least three).
2. Presentation of a basal vertebrate group on last course day in the Natural History Museum (12.12.2023).
