Annotation -
The objective of field course is to study a deep, stratified aquatic habitat (e.g. lake, reservoir, pit hole etc.). In particular, students (themselves) will investigate interactions within the plankton induced by the diurnal light changes, together with measuring other water zonal characteristic (pH, oxygen, chl-a etc.). Among possible hypotheses, students will follow the diurnal vertical migration of zooplankton as a response to visually oriented predators (fish), diurnal changes in primary production and vertical distribution of phytoplankton etc.
The course is a common project of both Department of Ecology of Charles University Prague, and Department of Ecology of Palacky University Olomouc. It is intended namely for MSc. Students of ecology and limnology (hydrobiology) although other interested students are very welcome. The course will run once in two years (in exchange for Hydrobiological field course II. in the other year), however we are ready to run it yearly if there will be a sufficient number of applicants. Usually, the course takes 4-5 days either at the end of spring semester (May) or at the very end of the academic year (i.e. early September). For further information, please, contact the responsible persons from Dept. Ecology, Charles University.
