We will cover diverse aspects of the ecology and evolution of plant reproduction with an emphasis on recent primary literature and empirical research. The format will be a combination of lectures and student presentations/discussions.<br>
The course meets Wednesdays from 10 AM - 12:50 PM in Bio Sciences West Room 302. It is available for 1-3 credits, and is open to undergraduates with some background in ecology, evolution, and plant biology.<br>

The goal of this course is to explore the evolutionary and ecological origins of diversity patterns. Macroecological topics may include species richness gradients, geographic range sizes, community assembly, and ecological niches. Macroevolutionary topics
may include the accumulation of species richness in clades over space and time, rates of diversification (i.e. speciation minus extinction), and rates and patterns of phenotypic trait evolution (including niche evolution and conservatism). These macroevolutionary
topics will be addressed from both phylogenetic and paleontological perspectives. Topics in speciation will include species concepts, geographic modes of speciation, and ecological and genetic mechanisms of speciation. Overall, we will try to understand the
origins of global-scale biodiversity patterns in terms of the underlying population-level ecological and evolutionary processes.<br>
IMPORTANT NOTE: If many experienced students take the course, we will likely shift the emphasis towards doing a collaborative research project during much of the class (instead of just reading papers). This may include, for example, analyzing patterns
of speciation in tropical vs. temperate species, or studying the relative impacts of local-scale vs. regional-scale processes on large-scale patterns of diversification and species richness.<br>
The course will emphasize exploring, reading, and discussing the essential primary literature on these topics. There may also be individual projects that will involve learning methods relevant to these areas. It is available for 2 credits, and will meet
once per week for 1 hour and 20 minutes. The time and place will be determined based on overlap of student and faculty schedules, for those students who sign up for the course. The target audience is Ph.D. and Master's students in EEB and related areas. The
class size should be no more than 20 students.<br>

The goal of this course is to explore the organization and evolution of genomes. We will explore the evolutionary dynamics of different elements within genomes, as well as the various mutations that drive changes in genomic composition. Discussion of hypotheses
explaining genome structure and organization will be a central feature of the course.<br>
The course will focus the discussion on readings from the primary literature. Students will work with the instructor to select appropriate papers for each week's topic. A syllabus with each week's topic will be distributed at the beginning of the semester.<br>
The time and place of the course meeting will be determined after resolving schedules of participating students.<br>

The goal of this course is to address the foundations and cutting edge of conceptual, theoretical and empirical research on the structure and function of ecological networks with an emphasis on consumer-resource approaches to food webs and mutualistic
networks. We focus on both basic and applied research areas such as those that integrate metabolic theory, reproductive services, evolution, spatial heterogeneity, and network theory. Students will read and discuss the primary literature and lead a discussion
of current research in an ecological network topic of their choosing. A written report on the presentation is required if the 3 credit option is chosen.<br>
The course will focus the discussion on readings from the primary literature. Students will work with the instructor to select appropriate papers for each week's topic. A syllabus with each week's topic will be distributed at the beginning of the semester.<br>
The time of the course meeting will be determined after resolving schedules of participating students, but the course will meet in Bio Sciences West Room 140.<br>
