- No discussion or guest speaker this week so that you have time to work on your exam
Readings:
Emlen & Zimmer, Chapter 13 On the Origin of Species
Reading on Phylogenetic Comparative Methods (in your Laulima/Resource/primary-literature folder)
- This reading is optional, but I suggest reading pages 90-92 for help on interpretating phylogenetic comparative methods on your exam.

Schedule
Note that on Wednesday, class will meet synchronously on Google Meet meet.google.com/qip-dcci-fjy. Class will be recorded and posted online if you are unable to attend. Remaining instruction will be asynchronous, meaning you can work at your own pace and desired time.
In general, I strongly recommend attending synchronous meetings if you can. I also recommend establishing routine times that you work on asynchronous assignments. A routine will help you develop good work habits, keep you engaged in the class, and prevent you from having to cram later.
Monday, April 13 - asynchronous
- Midterm Exam 3 handed out. I strongly advise reading over the exam soon and making a plan to complete. You will have trouble finishing if you wait until the last minute.
Wednesday, April 15 - synchronous, join Google Meeting
- Speciation. You can access recorded video heres.
