Learning outcomes
|
Learning of the fundamental principles of the anatomy and physiology of reproductive organs of vertebrates, with the behavioural and ecological backgrounds, as a prerequisite for full understanding of behavioural ecology, sociobiology and various general aspects of evolution.
The graduate is capable to orient in the complex of ecology / biology of reproduction and to apply the gained knowledge, concepts and methodology of this discipline in own research. Through gaining insight into the given discipline, the graduate's capability to inter- and multidisciplinary analytic and synthetic reasoning increases.
