Course objectives: This course is designed to help students stay current with major developments in their specific area within the field of ecology. Students will develop skills to critically present and interpret cutting-edge research and to engage in scholarly discussion about how recent findings advance their field or challenge established paradigms. The course is structured into three parallel sections, each running throughout the semester: Evolutionary Ecology Led by Mgr. Jan Hrček, Ph.D. Multitrophic Interactions and Chemical Ecology Led by Mgr. Kateřina Sam, Ph.D., and RNDr. Martin Volf, Ph.D. Phylogeography, Phylogenomics, and Insect Evolution Led by RNDr. Aleš Buček, Ph.D., RNDr. Petr Klimeš, Ph.D., and RNDr. Pável Fortunato Matos Maraví, Ph.D. Students choose one section based on their academic focus and follow it for the duration of the semester. This course is primarily recommended for doctoral students in Entomology.
The students will keep up with important developments in their specific field within ecology and will learn how to critically interpret and present results of scientific studies.
