Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Current questions and methods of population biology will be applied to amphibian populations. Research will focus on green toads and fire-bellied toads (fotographic registration of individuals, to estimate population sizes and home ranges). Projects on other species are also possible.Aims: Understanding of current topics in evolutionary ecology and conservation biology, knowledge of life histories of native amphibians, ability to apply research methods of population biology in the field, practice in writing scientific reports.Methods: Discussion of scientific papers, practical field research in small teams, data analysis; writing a report.
