About the courseIn the ever changing dynamic system of biodiversity, most of the methods which describe it focus on a fixed picture. However, nowadays phylogenetic tools open interesting approaches in modern taxonomy, evolution, ecology and conservation. One of the targets of scientists today is to understand biodiversity in a temporal and evolutive perspective by reconstructing the history of organisms and ecosystems; thus, providing better insights on the process of change and in predicting plausible future evolution. During the course, students will acquire knowledge on practical ways to study plant diversity in different levels: genetics, species and ecosystems. Together with classical methodologies, the course will elucidate how phylogenetic trees bring important complementary information in biodiversity research. Most of the methods learned during the course are applicable in all lineages of organisms.
