The course will give an introduction to marine biology; it will particularly focus on living conditions in the habitat of the Atlantic litoral where organisms cope with the permanent changes caused by tides. A combination of lectures/seminars will give the theoretical background for short field excursions which illustrates the situation in situ. Small projects will add own practical experiences in research in marine ecosystems.
- Key competences:
-
Die Studierenden kennen die physikalischen und chemischen Gegebenheiten des marinen Litorals als Lebensraum. Sie erkennen die maßgeblichen Faktoren für die Ausprägung spezifischer Organismengesellschaften und die unterschiedlichen Anpassungsstrategien. Sie kennen die wesentlichen Merkmale der in diesem Lebensraum vertretenen organismischen Großgruppen und beherrschen die Arbeitstechniken zu deren Differenzierung und Erfassung. Sie vermitteln selbst erarbeitete Kenntnisse zu Aspekten des Lebensraums und stellen damit Zusammenhänge dar.
