Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Course participants will investigate ecological and ethological questions in terrestrial organisms of tropical ecosystems, with a focus on pollinating insects (like butterflies and orchid bees). The studies will mainly be conducted at the tropical research station La Gamba (in the "rainforest of the Austrians"). Participants will learn about biodiversity in the major terrestrial ecosystems of the Neotropical region along an elevational gradient from lowland and mountain rainforest to the forest-free Paramo vegetation at high altitudes.
