Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biology of organisms and ecology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
  • Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in the biology of organisms and ecology.
    • Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
    • Contributing to a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
    • Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
  • Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
    • Understand unprecedented problems in biological sciences, and more specifically in the biology of organisms, ecology and its applications.
    • Organise and lead a research, development or innovation project to completion.
    • Methodically research valid scientific information, critically analyse, propose and argue potentially innovative solutions to targeted problems.
  • Master communication techniques.
    • Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
    • Master the techniques of written and oral scientific communication in both French and English.
  • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
    • Aquire new knowledge independently.
    • Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
    • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy to evolve in new contexts.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The lecture of « Taxonomie numérique et phylogénétique » aims to teach students to (i) history of Systematics ; (ii) methodology in Phenetics and Phylogenetics; (iii) Taxonomy of Cryptic taxa ; (iv) Taxonomy of fossil taxa. Students will be also teach to particular vocabulary and the evolutionary theories associated to systematics.

Content of UE

Systematics ; Taxonomy ; Phylogeny ; Botany ; Zoology ; Linné ; Linné ; Darwin ; Mayr ; Evolution ; Classification ; Biological diversity ; Phenetics ; Phylogeny ; Geometric morphometrics ; Paleontology ; Bees.

Prior Experience

Evolution ; Systematics ; Anatomy.
