Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
|
Learning outcomes |
The course deals with modern avian phylogeny, including ecology, morphology and behavioural adaptations of each taxon.
Participants will get deep insight in word avifauna and the variability of morphological adapatations and reproductive strategies. The course significantly increase the knowledge on avifauna based on previous less specialized courses. |
Prerequisites |
The participants should have basic knowledge in the field Zoology. Recommended (but not compulsory) prerequisity is the course KZO / 156 - Zoology of higher Vertebrates
|
Assessment methods and criteria |
Oral examination
The students should have a basic overview on diversity, ecology and phylogeny of wordwide avifauna. |
