Selected tags:
#sexual selection
Describe the basic tenets of ‘Darwinian evolution’: i) Tree of Life concept; ii) Natural selection, leading to adaptive evolution (including different modes of selection, and sexual selection)
[
BIOL 1010
]
Extend and apply this understanding to simple situations of tradeoffs, sexual selection and kin selection.
[
BIOL 2040
]
Understand how social systems have evolved, the types of social systems in marine mammals and the evolution of mating strategies as an example of a social system Describe the influence of social structure on vocal categories
[
BIOL 3090
]
Explain and apply the main models explaining sex ratios, sexual selection, and mate choice
[
BIOL 3062
]
Know mechanisms for functional divergence at the molecular level that span a wide range of biological complexity. Understand how specific models of adaptive evolution explain real examples of functional divergence.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Predict mating systems in mammals and birds based on their ecology
[
BIOL 3062
]
Understand how marine mammal abundance is measured and the significance of life history parameters in population dynamics and have a basic understanding of the factors which contribute to the formation of new colonies
[
BIOL 3090
]
Understand how molecular evolutionary processes give rise to patterns of genetic diversity that we observe in the natural world, and how to use those patterns to make inferences about different processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the importance of molecular evolution in the post-genomic era, and be able to explain this to non-specialists.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the meaning of life history and the life history characteristics of cetaceans and pinniped and the factors that shape their evolution
[
BIOL 3090
]
