Systematics and Biotic Diversity
|
|
|
The Program of Study in Systematics and Biotic Diversity is designed to introduce students interested in the diversity of the living world to several facets of this eclectic field. The course requirements of the Program are drawn from two different complementary areas. The numerous courses identified as Group A deal with taxonomic diversity. These courses provide opportunities to learn about the variation that exists within particular groups of organisms, and about the history of diversification in those groups, as reflected in phylogenies that link their species. Courses in Group B build upon the basic ideas presented in many of the Group A courses, and explore the various theoretical and technical underpinnings of systematics. These courses cover such topics as evolution, the fossil record, molecular approaches to studying variation, and phylogenetic theory. Because hands-on familiarity with organisms is an essential part of systematics, participation in two courses that include a laboratory is expected.
