- Comprehend the modern plant phylogeny and its sources of information;
- Explain the underlying evolutionary mechanisms of diversity and speciation in the plant kingdom;
- Describe the variety of pollination syndromes, reproductive systems and population structures presentin the plant kingdom, and explain the mechanisms underlying this diversity;
- Explain and critically analyse how the genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of plant populations are influenced by phenomena like phenotypic plasticity, seed banks, hybridization, polyploidy and postglacial colonization history;
- Formulate hypotheses and propose methods when studying evolutionary phenomena in wild plant species.
