Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2010-11
Se pretende que los alumnos adquieran una visión general de los cambios experimentados por la taxonomía y sistemática biológicas desde sus orígenes, con Aristóteles y Linneo, hasta la situación actual derivada de las aportaciones de la biología molecular y el desarrollo de la informática. Así mismo, se abordará la aplicación práctica de los principales métodos y herramientas para la resolución de problemas de índole taxonómica y para la reconstrucción e interpretación de filogenias en distintos niveles taxonómicos.
Finalmente, se discutirán las aplicaciones de los análisis filogenéticos en estudios evolutivos, biogeográficos y de conservación biológica.
