MFWB_A - Applied Evolution Introduction

threats from climate change that affects humans

conservation (habitat fragmentation), food security (crops, domestic animals, fisheries), change in disease dynamics (hosts shifts, vectors and disease transmission, antimicrobial resistance, parasites), health (microbial communities)

measuring

genetic variation, phenotypic variation, strength/type of selection pressures

analyses

population genetics/genomics, phylogenetic trees, quantitative genetics, statistical modelling, quantitative PCR

population genetics/genomics

change in allele frequency, connectivity, transmission, host sharing, selection, inbreeding, resistance evolution

phylogenetic trees

evolutionary relatedness, mutation rates, host sharing

quantitative genetics

relating phenotypes to genotypes

statistical modelling

hypothesis testing, predictions

qPCR

diagnostics
