Genetic variability is at the basis of biodiversity. Molecular ecology uses the knowledge of genetics in organisms to get a better insight in the population ecology of species. The objective of this course is to increase the knowledge on genetic aspects in conservation of biodiversity.
In this course part one learns to work in a team, to search for data sources for complementing the learning material, to analyze and synthesize the learning material, to analyze a biological phrasing, to understand and judge the research results offered within this course part and to transfer the acquired knowledge, and in particular of the practical acquirements.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Oral exam after written preparation (100%, including an obligatory participation of practical sessions and report - that accounts for 40% - to submit before the exam session)
