Course Contents
Branches of zoogeography (Descriptive, chorology, Faunistics, systematic, biocoenotic, causal, ecological, historical, experimental and applied zoogeography). Animal distribution (Cosmopolitan distribution, discontinuous distribution, isolation distribution, bipolar distribution and endemic distribution) Barriers and dispersal.
Zoogeographical regions (division, geographic ranges, physical features, climates, faunas and affinities of Holarctic (Palaearctic and Nearctic regions), Oriental, Ethiopian, Australian, and Newtropical Regions.) Palaeogeography (Theories of Continental drift and Plate tectonics).
Principles of Paleontology: Earth, Shells of earth; (Atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere). Rock, types of rocks (lgneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks) Fossil, types and uses of fossils. (Nature of fossils). Processes of fossilization. Geological time scale.Pre-Cambrian life. Post Cambrian life (Palaeozoic life, Mesozoic life, Cenozoic life). A brief history of the Siwaliks. Geochronometry (Uranium/Lead dating, radiocarbon dating, Fission track dating and palaeomagnetism).
Course Synopsis
The course imparts knowledge and concepts of evolution mainly based on the past fossil records. The fossil records also provide the information regarding the distribution of animals in the past eras. This course provides information on the distribution of animals and their associations in the past; thus, to rationalize their relationship in the present time.
