Full Description
This exam examines the various environmental factors that influence the evolutionary trajectories of microorganisms. Focus areas include ecological dynamics, anthropogenic effects, and climate change.
Understanding these influences is essential as they affect microbial survival and adaptation, which in turn has implications for ecosystem health and human activity, including agriculture and disease management.
Candidates will be tested on their ability to articulate the relationships between environmental conditions and evolutionary change in microbial populations.
It is beneficial to prepare examples illustrating specific environmental pressures that have historically impacted microbial evolution.
Sample Questions
- In what ways can climate change serve as a selective pressure on microbial populations?
- How do anthropogenic activities influence microbial evolutionary dynamics?
