Annotation

English

The goal of lectures in palaeoecology is the understanding of basic principles of both biotic and abiotic factors for the marine and land biocycles in the geologic history (betwen Precambrian to Recent). Taphonomic impacts will be discussed in connection with the actuopalaeontologic, ecostratigraphic, palaeoclimatostratigraphic and eventostratigrafic events and principles. Different life strategies will be analysed in individual environments of the marine and freshwater ecosystems within the global biomes of the World.

Czech

V jednotlivých blocích budou probrány principy paleoekologie, interakce živé a neživé složky prostredí, adaptace organismu, studium stop fosilních organismu a jejich interpretace, populace a biocenózy, ekosystémy a paleoekologické rekonstrukce. Duraz bude kladen na tafonomii, trofické vztahy v geologické minulosti a paleoekologii vybraných sedimentárních celku CR.
