Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) The lecture deals with basic models in population ecology, insect pest gradations, principles in human demography, harvesting, life history tables, survival tables and temporal and spatial variability in population size. The laboratory classes will cover basic methods of estimating population size and variability, examples of insect pests and their life history, effects of human impact on animal and plant populations and communities (including the ecology and evolution of synanthropic organisms), animal communication and predator prey interactions |

(tylko po angielsku) The lecture deals with basic models in population ecology, insect pest gradations, principles in human demography, harvesting, life history tables, survival tables and temporal and spatial variability in population size. The laboratory classes will cover basic methods of estimating population size and variability, examples of insect pests and their life history, effects of human impact on animal and plant populations and communities (including the ecology and evolution of synanthropic organisms), animal communication and predator prey interactions, with elements of behavioural ecology. Students will design and conduct their own laboratory experiment dealing with inter- and intra-specific communication and predator effects on prey organisms. Moreover, they will analyse and interpret the results of pre-recorded videos from experiments on consumptive and non-consumptive predator effects on prey communities (aquatic models) |
Literatura: |
(tylko po angielsku) Literature will be presented at the beginning of lecture and laboratory class series |
Metody i kryteria oceniania: |
(tylko po angielsku) Lecture: Written exam – a test consisting of open and closed questions. Criteria for the final grade: 50-60% points - 3, 61-70% - 3+, 71-80% - 4, 81-90% - 4+, >90% - 5 Laboratory: Written tests during laboratory classes Test of skills in identification of alien organisms Evaluation of a report prepared on the basis of the conducted experiment Evaluation of a short presentation in the field of biological invasions (mechanisms, important species, recent findings) on the basis of scientific literature provided by teachers Activity during the classes Final grade in laboratory classes will be an average of grades received in the above-mentioned categories |
