Welcome to Bugema University - E-Learning Platform.

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).
