Programa de Pós-graduação em Ecologia e Evolução (PPGEE)
Methodology and scientific communication (MANDATORY FOR STUDENTS OF TEH PPGEE)
In this course, postgraduate students will have to integrate theoretical and practical knowledge about the scientific method and its applications in “Ecology and Evolution” with special emphasis on aspects related to rational thinking and science, the formulation of questions, hypotheses and predictions, project planning, fundraising, project execution, the writing of scientific articles and abstracts, the preparation of oral presentations, and scientometrics.

Comparative phylogeography
This course will cover different applications of phylogeography. Principles of population genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography will be explored to discuss the evolutionary processes that have shaped biodiversity at different spatial scales. In a practical way, the course will allow students to test different demographic hypotheses using simulations and the Approximate Bayesian Computation method. To this end, the course will include an introduction to the R language, population genetics statistics and the coalescent model.
