autumn 2012 BIO-8004 Biosystematic Methods and Biodiversity - 5 ECTS
Course content
The content of the course will alternate among years. Some years it will be a field course with focus on species identification in different taxonomical groups as well as methods of species collection and conservation for taxonomic research. In other years, it will be a theoretical course focusing on morphological, molecular or statistical methods in biosystematics.Teaching methods
The students read literature before the start of the teaching. Teaching is given as an intensive course period. Self studies are also required after the intensive course period. When organized as a field course, the teaching will be during fieldwork, practical identification of organisms in the laboratory, as well as lectures on the taxonomic groups (6-8 days). When organised as a theoretical course, the lectures and seminars will be supplemented by discussions on recent papers or book chapters and practical computer exercises (in total 50-70 hrs). Total workload (incl. self studies) is estimated to 125 hrs.Error rendering component
