Biology: Limnology and Marine Ecology - Concepts and Processes

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: BIOS19

<p>BIOS19</p><p>The general aim of the course is that the student should acquire knowledge and understanding of concepts and processes in aquatic systems from individual to system levels, as well as be able to apply adequate methods.</p> <p>The course contains several components that focus on on aquatic ecological and evolutionary theory. Through a combination of lectures and experiments the students acquire knowledge of e.g. bacteria production, primary production, competition, predator-prey interactions, migration and distribution patterns in time and space and which consequences these processes have for the function of aquatic ecosystems. The practical work is carried out in project groups where the students practice planning, implementation and presentation of scientific studies. The course includes an introduction to aquatic databases and how these can be used for time series analyses of changes in and human impact on aquatic ecosystems through e.g. climate changes, eutrophication, brownification or fishing. The course also includes an introduction to theory and laboratory work associated with basic molecular methods.</p>
