[Taxacom] MASTER COURSE: Diversity and Evolution of Plants

[Katarina Andreasen]

MASTER COURSE STARTING IN JANUARY!

Uppsala University, Sweden is giving an international course on
Diversity and Evolution of Plants 15 hp

Diversity and Evolution of Plants is the course where you will learn  
more about the fantastic diversity and variety of plants, algae and  
fungi. We will study plant diversity from a phylogenetic perspective  
and thoroughly discuss issues like molecular systematics, tropical  
utility plants, threatened diversity, ?evolution at work? and concepts  
like endemic and alien plants. The course includes a field trip to  
Tenerife largely subsidized by the department. There you will start  
your own project that will be completed in Uppsala with a Ph D student  
or researcher from the Department of Systematic Biology as supervisor.

Note that the course is free of charge! There are no tuition fees and  
no registration fee.
