Surveys the 500-million year evolutionary history of terrestrial plants, from the earliest spore-producing land plants to the “abominable mystery” of flowering plant evolution. Introduction to phylogenetic principles and methods for identifying, naming, and classifying plant diversity. A total evidence approach to phylogenetic systematics is presented with genetic, morphological, and paleontological data used to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships of extant and extinct taxa. Labs will focus on plant classification and identification.
