ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY INFERENCE USING PHYLOGENIES

Catalog description

Explores evolutionary processes through the lens of phylogenetic trees. Emphasizes post-tree inference methods including divergence time estimation, trait evolution, diversification analyses, and phylogeography. Builds practical skills in applying comparative methods to morphological, molecular, and genomic data. Examines how phylogenetics informs research in ecology, conservation, epidemiology, and other applied fields.
