Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. A broad understanding of the ways in which climate change is impacting on natural systems and how it may affect evolution. 2. Be able to describe the tools and evidence we have to test the contribution of microevolution as a response to climate change. 3. Understand the tools we have for predicting biotic responses to climate change, their strengths and limitations.
