Annotation -
Practical course supplementing MB170P13B and A. Please note, the lectures are given in czech language only. A general survey of taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity of the phyllum Chordata. Detailed characteristics of all major clades and their phylogenetic relationships. Patterns of functional morphology, adaptive design and biodiversity including survey of typical species. Special attention is paid to the vertebrate fauna of Europe.

Learning outcomes -

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • Identify representatives of European vertebrate fauna (lampreys, ray-finned fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) using determination keys and field guides.

  • Recognize key diagnostic features on live and fixed specimens, as well as on osteological or dermoplastic preparations.

  • Describe the morphological variability of the studied groups in relation to their phylogenetic development and environmental adaptations.

  • Demonstrate practical procedures for morphometric measurement and basic processing of zoological material.

  • Apply standard zoological terminology when describing the body structures of vertebrates.

  • Interpret the biodiversity of selected localities based on knowledge of the ecological requirements of Central European fauna.

  • Work both independently and in a team on assigned practical tasks.
