Students will learn about fundamental ecological concepts (niches, food webs, biodiversity) through an integrated combination of lectures, reading, fieldwork, lab work, quantitative analyses, and communication. Each week focuses on a particular concept and study system. Previous weeks have included predation, water bird population and conservation, pollinators, estimation of the size of a local gecko population, analyses of self-organising vegetation distributions, and bat monitoring and conservation. To facilitate students understanding of key ecological 3

5 Introduction into Research Methods and Study Design Course Program Introduction into Research Methods and Study Design UWW ECTS Place Course tutor Block course 16 th September to 20 th September Self-study Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schmid IEU, Y34-J-22 bernhard.schmid@ieu.uzh.ch +41 (0) Program The study objects of environmental sciences are complex and variable. This does not preclude quantitative analysis and interpretation, but requires special methodological approaches that can deal with variability, stochasticity and uncertainty. Often replication is an essential issue in experiments, whereas observation may only be possible on a single watershed or population of a rare species. Furthermore, real problem solving usually involves consideration of socioeconomic factors and an integrative, interdisciplinary study design. Knowledge, research methods, how to prepare a project, study design Written examination February are awarded based on the course assessment References will be given in the course 5

6 Biodiversity Theory Course Program Biodiversity Theory UWW 221 Place 2 ECTS Block course 7 th -11 th October, daily from 9:00-17:00 Will be announced by Course organizer Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schmid IEU, Y34-J-22 Dr. Marcel Van der Heijden Agroscope Reckenholz Zürich bernhard.schmid@ieu.uzh.ch +41 (0) marcel.vanderheijden@art.admin.ch Our planet Earth is unique because it is covered by a biosphere that maintains global processes such as hydrological cycles and climate. This is possible because the biosphere is made up of a great variety of living organisms connected in a large interaction web. But how does this web function? Why should a large web work better than a simple one? These are central questions in linking biodiversity and environmental research. However, we may also ask how the biodiversity we find today has been generated and is being maintained, from variation within species to variation between species and ecosystems. Studying patterns of biodiversity and the organismic interactions affecting biodiversity can help us understand how ecosystems function, how they provide services to humans and how humans in turn can safeguard these functions and services by prudent management. Written examination Feb are awarded based on the course assessment TBA 6
