Full Description
This exam focuses on the principles of phylogenetics and its application in elucidating the evolutionary relationships among animal species. Candidates must demonstrate an understanding of phylogenetic trees and their interpretation in the context of evolutionary history.
Phylogenetics serves as a foundational tool for understanding evolutionary biology. It allows researchers to reconstruct evolutionary processes, contributing to the fields of biodiversity, conservation, and ecological studies.
The assessment will test the candidate's ability to verbally analyze phylogenetic data, interpret phylogenetic trees, and discuss their implications for understanding evolutionary relationships.
Candidates may be asked to discuss specific case studies where phylogenetic methods have clarified evolutionary hypotheses.
Sample Questions
- How do phylogenetic trees represent evolutionary relationships among species?
- What are the implications of phylogenetic analysis for understanding evolutionary history?
