Full Description
This exam focuses on the critical role of fossil evidence in interpreting ecological changes over geological time. It emphasizes methodologies employed in the analysis of fossil remains and their implications for past ecological systems.
Accurate interpretation of fossil records provides insights into historical biodiversity shifts and extinction events, thus enabling scientists to draw parallels with contemporary ecological issues, such as climate change and habitat loss.
Candidates will be assessed on their verbal competencies in detailing fossil analysis methodologies, discussing ecological implications, and connecting findings to current ecological dynamics.
Discussions may also encompass the integration of paleontological data with modern ecological theories for a holistic understanding of ecosystem changes.
