Course content
|
The three-day field entomology course will be located into selected localities in middle and southern Moravia. The first part is a seminar focused on the methods of collecting invertebrates and the second part takes place in the field. Students will be introduced to modern and common biomonitoring methods, identification and sorting of selected insects. Students will improve their knowledge on classification and ecology of insects and they will try to determine selected important taxa using identification keys. During the field trip students will be introduced to taxonomically, ecologically and economically important insect taxa. The basic types of biotopes with their characteristic insect fauna will be also presented to students.
