Describe the diversity of some major groups of prokaryotes: focus on Proteobacteria; Gram-positives; Cyanobacteria.
[
BIOL 2004
]
Describe the Geologic history and time-scales associated with the evolution of metazoans
[
BIOL 2003
]
Relate animal phyla to key transitions of cladogram
[
BIOL 2003
]
Describe the bacterial species ‘concept’, phylogenetic tree of prokaryotes (including the role of gene transfer)
[
BIOL 2004
]
Interpret phylogenetic trees
[
BIOL 2004
]
Understand the concepts and role genetics plays in conservation of marine mammals
[
BIOL 3090
]
Understand the origins, taxonomic diversity, structure and ecological importance of the marine mammal orders and families
[
BIOL 3090
]
Compare classification of metazoans into major clades: protostomes/deuterostomes, ecdysozoans, lophotrochozoans
[
BIOL 2003
]
Compare the variety of invertebrate and vertebrate animal body‐forms, ecologies, life histories, and physiologies
[
BIOL 2003
]
Describe the different major groups of algae in taxonomic terms
[
BIOL 3221
]
Relate changes in animal systems to transition onto land
[
BIOL 2003
]
Comprehend different evolutionary models for genetic load and how these led to the neutral theory of molecular evolution. Understand and describe the “Neutral theory” and the “nearly neutral theory”. Know the major predictions of neutral theory and give examples where predictions have been validated with real molecular data. Comprehend both the benefits and pitfalls of neutral theory.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Comprehend the complexity of homology relationships under a variety of different molecular evolutionary processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Describe the basic biology of the most important major groups of microbial eukaryotes
[
BIOL 3102
]
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
]
Know the historical, cultural, and social framework that lead to the Darwinian theory of evolution
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand how explicit models of population genetic processes serve as the theoretical foundation for microevolution. Apply these models to understand different mechanisms of evolution acting on real biological data.
[
BIOL 3046
]
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 evolutionary significance of mutations at different levels of complexity. Apply evolutionary theory to understand impacts of mutations on fitness, rates of molecular evolution and genetic control of mutation.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the importance of molecular evolution in the post-genomic era, and be able to explain this to non-specialists.
