Programme
THE THIRD PART OF THE COURSE (SYSTEMATICS) INCLUDES UNTIL SIX LABORATORY PRACTICES. EVENTUALLY, ONE DAILY FIELD EXPERIENCE WILL BE CARRIED OUT AT THE END OF THE COURSE. LAB PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES CONCERN THE EXAMINATION OF SLIDES AND PRESERVED SPECIMENS OF ALL STUDIED TAXONOMIC GROUPS, AND POSSIBLY ANATOMICAL DISSECTIONS OF DEAD SPECIMENS. THE FIELD EXPERIENCE IS AIMED TO SHOW SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL ASSEMBLAGES USING TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATES (ESPECIALLY BIRDS) AS MODEL.Core Documentation

Type of delivery of the course
LAB PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES (1 CFU, 10h) CONCERN THE EXAMINATION OF SLIDES AND PRESERVED SPECIMENS OF ALL STUDIED TAXONOMIC GROUPS, AND POSSIBLY ANATOMICAL DISSECTIONS OF DEAD SPECIMENS. THE FIELD EXPERIENCE IS AIMED TO SHOW SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL ASSEMBLAGES USING TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATES (ESPECIALLY BIRDS) AS MODEL.Type of evaluation
The evaluation of the student for the modules 1,2 and 3 occurs together, during the same oral examination, which consists of both the discussion of theoretic subjects included in the programme and the identification of animal species from conserved material and slides. The evalutation considers both the knowledge of the contents and the exposition capacity.
