Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: 1. understand and explain basic taxonomy knowledge and phylogenetics information connected with ... 2. the knowledge about ecology and distribution of invertebrate animals. 3. imagine, how many representatives each group contains; 4. identify the most important representatives of our (European) invertebrate fauna; 5. find identification characters on the base of good knowledge of their morphology. 6. understand and explain differnces between 3 groups of protected (or endangered) invertebrate species.

Teaching methods
Laboratory practices - individual work of the students is prefered. During courses, under supervision of tutor, they are alone (but often working in couples) trying to identify offered biological material with help of available identification keys.
Assessment methods
Requirements for credit: active participation and completed exercise book, in some cases working out given individual works (mostly PPT-presentations).
Language of instruction
Czech
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
