Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The field course is centered on quantitative methods for estimating population sizes of amphibians, by means of spawn counts, call surveys, drift fences and mark-recapture of individually registered animals. Field work in Vienna (Vienna Woods) will establish baseline data for long-term monitoring of populations and provide the participants with knowledge of the ecology of locally occurring species and insights into conservation problems in urban areas.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment of practical work in the field and protocols.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Application of population ecological methods in amphibians. Knowledge of native amphibian species in all stages of development. Organization of data collection field.
