This course aims to bring students close to recent advances on concepts in the evolutionary theory, through the comprehension of the sources of variation in a historical perspective. In this context, the role of phenotypic plasticity in micro and macroevolutionary processes will be a central theme, although other aspects relevant to phenotypic evolution will also be considered. This course is structured in interactive classes, based on the reading and discussion of scientific literature. By the end of the course, it is expected that the participants are able to relate their research project to the discussions, considering their research in a wider context.
Main Topics:

1. The origin of variations and adaptive evolution: historical perspective
2. Phenotypic plasticity and microevolution
3. Phenotypic plasticity and macroevolution
