Learning outcomes

After completing the course, students will be able to:

1. Explain the fundamental principles and modern approaches used in biosystematics, taxonomy, and evolutionary biology.
   

2. Evaluate results of specific studies applying advanced biosystematic research in plants or animals.
   

3. Apply critical thinking to assess the relevance and limitations of different taxonomic and evolutionary methods in systematics.
