    | Course content | 
    | Five days-long (Monday-Friday) visit at selected field station in the South Bohemian natural landscape (e.g. foothills of the Novohradské hory Mts.). Collection / capturing / observation and determination of different group of organisms (including plants, algae, fungi, vertebrate and invertebrate animals). Demonstration of other specialized methods of field biology (e.g. soil biology). All-day program of this training is provided by the team of experienced biologists - specialists for individual groups of organisms. They present up-to-date field biology in potent mix of interesting methods and organisms. Important part of this training is individual and team work of students.
