Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students learn to deal with the following topics: 1) Conceptual framework and practical methods of evolutionary ecology; 2) Significance of eco-evolutionary dynamics involving plants, with special emphasis on plant-herbivore and plant-pollinator interactions; 3) Mutualistic and antagonistic relationships in the evolutionary context. Students gain practical knowledge concerning biological activities of selected secondary plant metabolites, i.e. the molecules enabling plant defence and interaction / communication between plants and associated biota.
