Full-time form

1. Know the morphological and biological characteristics of the main types of animals, the main provisions of the synthetic theory of evolution and the basic terminology of zoological systematics. 2. be able to determine the type of animal by the main diagnostic features. 3. Possess basic skills in using specialized computer programs to present data in text format, search and analyze information in specialized professional journals and the Internet.

The discipline "Animal Phylogenetics" is a discipline of students' free choice. Within the discipline "Animal Phylogenetics" students have the opportunity to get acquainted with the theory and practice of modern animal phylogenetics, to master the skills of conducting elementary phylogenetic analysis on morphological and molecular characters using specialized computer programs, to learn to formulate an evolutionary scenario based on an existing phylogenetic tree. The theoretical core of the discipline "Animal Phylogenetics" is formed by such sciences as general zoology, systematics and nomenclature of animals, theory of evolution, and statistical analysis. At the same time, it is closely related to such disciplines as biodiversity, zoogeography, evolutionary morphology of animals, etc.
