Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: (1) understand and explain basic morfological and anatomical information about selected invertebrate animals (acquired with help of on dissecting their bodies); (2) to connect it with the knowledge about their reproduction and (3) development; and (4) with the knowledge about their ecology and (5) distribution.
