This course
entails diversity of invertebrate animals; their
characteristics and adaptations to
the environment. Due
to the importance of
protists, they are
also considered and taught
in this course.
The lectures illustrate the increasing complexity in morphology and
reproductive features. Emphasis is put
on beneficial aspects
(food, environmental
indicators, components of
food chains and nutrient
recycling in ecosystems, biological
control, tourism) and
harmful ones (
pests, parasites, disease vectors).
