Botany 940 - Systematics Seminar
Phylogeography
Spring 2004
Tuesday 12: 05-12:55
D. Baum, P. Berry, K. Sytsma - instructors
The focus of this seminar will be to examine the field of "phylogeography": We will read the historical literature dealing with the field, more modern analytical approaches to address the issues, and critically examine many of the plant and animal examples using phylogeographical methods or inference. The seminar is thus appropriate for those interested in systematics, genetics, geography, diversity, and evolutionary biology in general. One or two papers will be read each week by all participants - faculty, staff, enrolled graduate students, and regular visitors. PDF versions of the papers will be available through the links below. A more exhaustive citation list on "key innovation" literature will be periodically updated and made available as a Word file.
