ObjectifsIntroduction to theoretical principles and modelling approach to fundamental problems in evolutionary ecology. Understand the biological factors that influence the evolution of ageing, sex, and resource consumption. Ability to conceputalise a biological problem and analyse it quantiatively. Introduction to individual-based simulations.
ContenusWe explore the evolution of sexual reproduction, ageing and resource consumption, through three big questions: 1. Why do we age? 2. Why do we reproduce sexually? 3. How should we consume resources? We look at these questions through mathematical and computational modelling. In addition to core concepts of evolutionary ecology, students thus learn how to formalize a theoretical model, implement it in a computer program (e.g. R, C or Python) and analyse its output.
