Information from the course leader
Hej,
Välkomna på kursen ”Faunistik; artkunskap, ekologi och förvaltning” (BI1392)! Hoppas det ska bli en trevlig och lärorik tid.
Kursen erbjuder artkunskap om våra vilda ryggradsdjur, dess grundläggande ekologi samt förvaltning. Den huvudsakliga inriktningen är artkunskap och färdighet att i fält, via bilder, delar (ex horn) eller spår artbestämma våra däggdjur, fåglar och kräldjur. Kursen omfattar även utbredning, habitat, grundläggande ekologi (ekosystemfunktioner, artinteraktioner, trofinivåer) samt vilt- och naturförvaltning. Vi kommer även att beröra viltövervakning, sjukdomsövervakning och användandet av vilda djur inom forskning och som livsmedel.
Kursen genomförs på halvtidsfart under kväller och helger under vårterminen och består av föreläsningar, museibesök, exkursioner samt enskilda litteraturarbeten.
Information om kursen, schema, artlistor, litteraturtips, examenskriterier, föreläsningar mm hittar kommer att läggas ut på en kurshemsida i Canvas i början av januari 2024.
