    Description

    Current research in evolutionary palaeontology and biomineralization stands at the crossroad of various disciplines ranging from palaeontology, evolutionary biology, macroecology, biogeography, morphometry and microbiology. The concepts and methods of these scientific fields complement each other and lead to an integrated understanding of biodiversity as preserved in the fossil record. This teaching unit tackles biodiversity dynamics at multiple scales, ranging from the local preservation of fossil individuals to the distribution of life on the planet. It also includes scientific seminars and a reinforcement in scientific English.
