Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
We will discuss topical research papers in the field of population genetics, analysing methods, results and their implications, with the aim to understand their significance in a wider context. To provide insights in the role and limitations of mathematical theory in evolutionary biology, the seminar will contrast diverse theoretical and empirical approaches. Questions addressed by these papers include the maintenance of genetic variation as well as speciation processes.
Assessment and permitted materials
