UFR Sciences Vie Terre Environnement
How to study evolution in the fossil record? And how do living beings contribute to mineralization processes? These two questions stand at the heart of this teaching unit. The main aims are (1) to help students build themselves a robust knowledge on evolutionary patterns and processes as inferred from the fossil record; (2) to present biologically-derived mineralization processes that lead to skeletons, some rocks and to the fossils themselves; (3) To associate cutting-edge research questions with current methods and lab techniques.
Program :
Travaux dirigés :
Evolutionary Palaeontology :
Theory of Evolution, Advanced concepts in Macroevolution, Measuring past biodiversity, Evolution of shapes and Morphological disparity, Phylogeny and the Fossil record, Biogeography, Introduction to Macroecology.
