| Prerequisites |
Basic knowledge in biology

| Aims |
The course is a first approach of freshwater biodiversity: it is an introduction to taxonomy (identification of organisms) and to the functional aspects of diversity (what are the assemblages, and what is their relationship to the environment).
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and
command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be
accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled
“Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.

| Bibliography |
Several aspects will be approached through field and laboratory work:
* collection of micro- and/or macroscopic algae in lakes and rivers, followed by identification in the laboratory; lectures will introduce the basis of the taxonomy and classification in functional groups
* collection of macroinvertebrates in rivers, identification, analysis of trophic guilds and biological traits
* fish sampling in rivers and/or lakes: species identification, estimates of density and biomass, analysis of factors determining community composition.
Invited experts will contribute to the training.
