Artbildung: von Populationsgenetik zu Phylogenetik
Course material for
"Speciation: From Population Genetics to Phylogenetics"
Winter semester
Description:
This course will provide examples and understanding of speciation processes. The stress will be put on how understanding evolutionary genetics allows us to understand the evolution and appearance of species.
The course consists of four parts:
1) Population genetics of recent speciation: speciation models, DM incompatibilities, data analysis of sister species
2) Critical analysis of published studies on classic speciation cases
3) Phylogenetics: BEST, Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood, Bayesian Methods (with/without relaxed clock) - BEAST
4) Network analysis
