行动中的生物多样性，进化和保护MSc / PGDip

生物多样性危机对今世后代都是至关重要的挑战。每天，物种多样性都在迅速下降。尽管进化生物学家努力描述生物多样性的模式和过程，但在有关生物多样性保护的对话中却常常缺少它们。本课程是为那些在社会和生态系统的界面上寻求跨学科课程的人而设计的。该课程将专家教学与在实际环境和保护环境中的独特工作经验相结合，以发展您评估支撑生物多样性丧失与人类社会之间相互作用的生物学和社会过程的能力。您将学习如何收集和分析定量和定性的基因组生态和社会数据，这些技术是当前保护科学和进化生物学研究的最前沿。通过我们在毛里求斯的实地考察，您
The crisis in biodiversity is a crucial challenge for current and future generations. Every day, species diversity is rapidly declining. Despite the effort of evolutionary biologists to describe biodiversity patterns and processes, they are often missing from the dialogue about conservation of the biodiversity. This course is designed for those looking for an interdisciplinary programme at the interface of social and ecological systems. This course combines expert teaching with unique experiences of work in real environmental and conservation settings to develop your ability to evaluate the biological and social processes that underpin interactions between biodiversity loss and human society. You will learn to gather and analyse quantitative and qualitative genomic ecological and social data, skills which are at the forefront of current research in conservation science and evolutionary biology.
