Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The seminar focuses on a particular topic each semester and aims to illuminate it using a series of papers, including classical seminal papers that have set the stage, as well as recent developments. Currently, the SS focuses on Kin Selection, whereas the WS focuses on problems delineating entities in evolutionary Biology (cell types, species etc.)

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Each student gives a seminar on one of the papers from the list. Reading of each paper is however required in order to participate in the discussion.
