PR19.3: Apply existing research methods, develop and implement new research methods and technologies to address specific scientific, theoretical, and applied problems in zoology. PR20.3: Develop a systematic approach to the analysis and interpretation of new findings on the organization and functioning of animal organisms at the organismal and population levels, drawing on advanced knowledge acquired through professionally oriented practical courses.

Full-time form

1. Know the morpho-biological features of the main types of animals, the main provisions of synthetic theory of evolution and basic terminology of zoological taxonomy. 2. Be able to determine the type of animal by the main diagnostic features. 3. Have basic skills in using specialized computers programs for presenting data in text format, searching and analyzing information in specialized professional journals and the Internet.

The discipline "Phylogenetic Systematics of Animals" is a discipline of free choice of students. Within the discipline students have the opportunity to get acquainted with the theory and practice of modern animal phylogenetics, master the skills of basic phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular features using specialized computer programs, learn to formulate an evolutionary scenario for available phylogenetic tree. The theoretical core of the discipline consists of such sciences as general zoology, taxonomy and nomenclature of animals, the theory of evolution, statistical analysis. However, it is closely related to disciplines such as biodiversity, zoogeography, evolutionary morphology of animals, etc.
