Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:
none, but the module “PB-V1: Morphology, Systematics and Ecology of Invertebrates (or equivalent)” is
recommended
Inhalt:
a) Macroecology
Macroecology integrates data from ecology, systematics, evolutionary biology, palaeobiology and biogeography to identify patterns in ecosystems functioning at largest spatial and temporal scales. The
course takes a hierarchical approach at patterns in abundance and distribution of species, palaeogeography, population dynamics and interactions, and implications for macroevolution and conservation biology.
b) Biofacies and Palaeoecology
Students perform a study identifying biofacies from outcrop data and fossils. The class covers the whole workflow from gathering fossils in the field to sample preparation, analysis and interpretation.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
The students are able to:
Explain the large-scale patterns in species abundance, diversity and distribution
Understand and apply the key ecological models describing population dynamics and interactions within and between species
Report, describe and apply palaeontological methods for the interpretation and reconstruction of ancient habitats and ecosystems
Prepare and analyse fossil samples and present the results in a professional way
