Content of lectures: Common part: Origin and evolution of animals: Cells and tissues of multicellular animals, basic anatomy, epithelial layers, body cavities. Animal evolution: Radiata, basal diversification of Bilateria, Deuterostomia, Platyzoa; Lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Chordata: Urochordata, Cephalochordata, aquatic vertebrates; Tetrapoda; Ecological part: daptations: movement, food, defence; Vertebrate adaptations: movement, food, defence; Animal ecophysiology: cold-warm-blooded animals, respiration, osmoregulation, water balance climatic limits,adaptations, migration; reproduction, reproductive organs, strategies, progeny investment, mate choice; Intra- and interspecific relationships, parasitism, symbiosis, mimicry; Regional biogeography: historical geography, biomes, zoogeographical regions, conservation; Regional biogeography and ecology Europe: historical geography, biomes, fauna, introduced species, conservation, Czech Republic: fauna (origin, ecology, distribution and its changes), important places, protected areas, conservation (causes of threads, conservation actions, habitat protection, environmental organisations and activities). Experimental part: Gametogenesis, fertilisation, embryogenesis, cell differentiation, development of organs in the arthropods and vertebrates; Postembryonic development, types of larvae, metamorphosis, reproduction, hormonal control of reproduction and growth; Evolution of genome, cytogenetics, relationships between genes, evolution and onthogeny (Hox genes, etc.); Food intake and digestion; energetic metabolism and its regulation, thermoregulation, ecophysiological adaptations, dormancy; Locomotion, skeleton and muscles; respiration, circulation, excretion, osmoregulation; Evolution of nervous system and sensory organs, communication, pheromones, vertebrate immunity; Model species of the animals for experimental research what they really say about animal kingdom.

Basic bachelor course of zoology, mainly for students without intent to specialise on zoology, but rather on either ecology, botany, and nature conservation disciplines, or experimental and biomedicine disciplines. The first, common part explains phylogenetic relationships of major metazoan groups, their diversity and major adaptations. The second part will be taught separately, focused either on ecological and biogeographical distribution and conservation strategies, or on comparative approach to general zoology and an evolutionary approach to the experimental model species of animals
Knowledge of phylogeny and evolution of invertebrates at the level of strains, vertebrates at the level of selected orders. Ability to put used model species in their context.
