Provides practical and theoretical experience on the use of genetic and molecular tools to study ecology, evolution and natural history. The first part of the lecture series will introduce modern laboratory techniques and describe the nature of the genetic data provided by each method. The second part and largest lecture series will cover specific examples and topics where molecular markers and ecological genetic tools have been used, such as: fingerprinting; spatial distribution of clones; paternity and maternity analysis; gene flow; speciation; hybridisation; phylogeography, phylogeny and conservation genetics. The practicals will provide training for students interested in research and the application of molecular methods. One practical component compares quantitative results with molecular ones.
