A student of the course will understand the fundamentals of biological Outcomes evolution, how evolution has shaped phenotypic diversity & behavior, and why evolution is a unifying theme in biology. 1. Overview of Biology: What is life? Characteristics of living organisms; Importance of studying biology; Scales in biology (molecules (including DNA), organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems); Disciplines of biology in relation to these scales; Origins of life. [3] 2. Principles of Evolutionary Biology: History of evolutionary thinking - ideas that formed the basis of modern understanding of evolution; Genes and alleles; Fundamental concepts (variation, selection, units of selection, fitness, adaptation); Prerequisites for evolution by natural selection; Evidence for natural selection and evolution; Types of selection (directional, stabilizing, disruptive); Evolution without selection (genetic drift, gene flow); Species concepts and speciation; Phylogenetics (basic terminology, tree of life, phylogenetic reconstruction, molecular dating); Macroevolutionary patterns (mass extinction, adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, divergent evolution). [10-12] Syllabus 3. Principles of Ecology: Biomes; Ecosystems (trophic levels, trophic structure, energy transformation, gross and net production, primary productivity, secondary productivity); Ecosystem types (tropical, temperate, subtropical); Population ecology (population characteristics, growth, life history strategies, population regulation, metapopulations); Community ecology (ecological succession, microhabitats, niche, structure of communities); Species interactions (predation, parasitism and mutualism).[6] 4. Behavioural ecology: Adaptive value of behaviour; Sexual selection; Mating systems; Kinship; Cooperation; Sociality (altruism, cooperation, kin selection, reciprocal altruism, etc.); Optimal foraging theory; Parental care; Social symbiosis. [10] 5. Biodiversity and conservation biology: Taxonomy and phylogenetic systematics; Diversification of life - a phylogenetic perspective; Diversification of life - a timeline; Measuring extant diversity; Threats to extant biodiversity (habitat loss and degradation, Invasive species, Pollution, Over- exploitation, Global climate change); In-situ and ex-situ conservation; Biodiversity of India; Island biogeography.

Students can appreciate Learning how complex living systems are built from a handful of simple atoms and how their molecular Outcomes
