Contents, comment

In diesem Spezialmodul werden wir uns in ausgewählte Kernthemen der Evolutionsbiologie einarbeiten und darüber ein tieferes Verständnis für evolutionsbiologische Forschung entwickeln. Dabei geht es beispielsweise um die Themen natürliche und sexuelle Selektion, evolutionäre Konflikte und Artbildung. Neben einer komprimierten Vorstellung zentraler Aspekte werden die Teilnehmer/innen sich die Themen vor allem in Kleingruppen erarbeiten. Ein besonders Gewicht liegt dabei auf der Erarbeitung fundamentaler Konzepte und einer Anbindung an die aktuelle empirische Forschung. Die Gruppenarbeit beinhaltet problemorientierte Übungen und die Diskussion aktueller Fachpublikationen. Die Veranstaltung wird vor allem deutschsprachige, aber auch einige englischsprachige Teile umfassen.

Through this module, students will develop an in-depth understanding of several key concepts in evolutionary ecology (e.g. natural selection, sexual selection, life-history evolution, speciation and evolutionary conflicts). Participants will receive introductory lectures on the selected topics, but the major focus will be on work in small groups to develop a deeper understanding of each topic. This small-group work will be delivered through a combination of problem-based exercises and learning to read and critically evaluate the primary scientific literature, culminating in a group discussion of the important concepts and ideas. The module will be delivered in both German and English.
