Course content
In the course "Historical Development of the Fauna" students have the opportunity to analyze the historical development, evolution and formation of modern diversity of different taxonomic groups of living organisms (with emphasis on paleozoological objects), from the time of life on Earth to the present. Particular attention is paid to the main aromamorphoses that have occurred at different levels of organization of living organisms over billions of years. In addition, the discipline outlines the range of methods and techniques of research that can be used in the formulation of experiments in related sciences. The discipline is designed to summarize the direction and patterns of reconstruction of paleoecosystems during different geochronological units, as well as to outline the causes and direction of historical development of individual groups of fossil and recent animals, and paleobiota in general.
