The Animal Evolutionary Ecology group offers a variety of courses for Bachelor and Master students.
In the Bachelor's programme we offer lectures on animal evolution, ecology and population genetics. Besides this, we also offer a course on the evolutionary ecology of animals in the 5th semester, which includes an excursion to Hiddensee, where we teach basics on ecological fieldwork and standard molecular techniques within the context of our current research.
In the Master's programme, we offer a module where we explore and study the Mediterranean fauna on Giglio, an island in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Italy. In addition to an accompanying seminar, we go snorkelling for 12 days and hiking to explore the local aquatic and terrestrial fauna. We further offer a module on Host-Parasite Coevolution, where we conduct experiments and provide theoretical knowledge to understand the arms rasces of hosts and parasites.
