ESPP 90q - Conservation and Evolution

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Traditionally, conservation biologists have assumed that evolution was not an important issue. However, recent realization that evolutionary change can occur rapidly has led to investigation of the importance of evolution for conservation. Additionally, other aspects of modern evolutionary biology, including genome sequencing and consideration of the phylogenetic tree-of-life, are increasingly seen as relevant. This course will explore the extent to which conservation and evolutionary biology need to be integrated to preserve the world?s biological diversity.
