- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 20 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/20, only registered: 0/20, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/20 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Systematic Biology and Ecology (programme PřF, B-BI)
- Systematic Biology and Ecology (programme PřF, B-BI, specialization Systematic Zoology and Ecology)
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to: use basic field and laboratory methods of studying the invertebrates; use basic knowledge necessary to study the animals in the field (choice of localities, sampling material, creating collections and databases); make reasoned decisions about their topic of bachelor theses.
- Syllabus
- 1. Faunistic research bases: localization, selection of locality, material collection and conservation, databases creating 2. Designing field studies 3. Aquatic ecosystems – running waters – methods of study 4. Aquatic ecosystems – running waters – invertebrates (insects excluded) – ecology, material sampling, conservation 5. Aquatic ecosystems – running waters – insects – material sampling, conservation 6. Aquatic ecosystems – stagnant waters – methods of study 7. Semi-aquatic ecosystems – spring fens and hyporheal – methods of study 8. Terrestrial ecosystems – soil zoology – methods of study, material sampling, conservation 9. Terrestrial ecosystems – entomology – methods of study, material sampling, conservation 10. Parasitology – unicellular parasites – methods of study 11. Parasitology – Platyhelminthes – methods of study 12. Parasitology – Acanthocephala, Nematoda – methods of study
