The articles are selected by the participants as well as the teachers. Recent topics as well as more classical topics in population ecology and genetics will be taken up. The course will be somewhat – but not exclusively – biased towards aquatic systems. Examples of topics are:
– Significance of individual behaviour and migration in population ecology and genetics.
– The role of evolution for population persistence under global change.

Informal discussion of selected articles presented by the participants.
