Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Exercises on systematics, life cycle and ecology of cryptogams (fungi, algae, mosses, ferns). In addition, collecting, determination and ecological characteristics are demonstrated. Each practical begins with a lecture on systematics, main characters, life cycles and ecology of the group treated.

Contents: Introduction to biodiversity, systematics and ecological relevance of the various groups of crpytogams (fungi incl. lichens, algae, bryophytes, ferns). Practical analysis of cryptogams and knowledge of the relevant features (macro- and microscopically), practical relevance for humans

Equipment for microscopy (slides, cover slips, forceps, preparation needles, pipetts etc.), white drawing paper, pencils and erasers as well as introductory text (available via moodle) should be brought for each practical day.

Assessment and permitted materials

There is compulsory attendance! There is no introductory meeting - the course starts immediately the first day.
Maximum times of absence allowed are 1 day (8 hours) per practical with cogent excuse (e.g. doctor's confirmation letter, mandatory attendance of other courses or exams).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

1. Line drawings as a result of practical analyses during the course (max. 15 points): individual grading: three times during the course (max. 5 points each); Hand-over and checking of all drawings at date of first exam.
2. Final exam (max. 14 points): one practical object for analysis and microscopy with theoretical questions on the object (max. 5 points) plus 3 theoretical questions (max. 3 points each).
For positive grading at least 15 points (of max. 29 altogether) are necessary.

Examination topics

Morphological analysis of practical objects, including microscopy and preparation
Systematics, life cycle, morphology and ecology of the groups of organisms treated
