The field course complements the lectures to Biology of Freshwater Invertebrates (B160P14). It is focused on observation, collection, and identification of freshwater invertebrates in their natural habitats like pools, ponds, springs, streams, and rivers, including sites typical for submountaneous and mountaneous areas.
Please note that the course is run only in the Czech language. However, foreign students can be led paralelly in the English language, and use primarily materials in English.

The field course is complementary to the course Biology of Freshwater Invertebrates (B160P14). It consists of field observation, collection, and identification (in the field and in the laboratory)of water organisms. Besides, lectures on the following groups are included: Protozoa, Cnidaria, Rotatoria, Gastrotricha, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, and Lepidoptera. Some general topics will be concluded (adaptations of organisms to life in lotic and lentic environments, diurnal vertical migrations, survival mechanisms and spreading of water animals, invasions of freshwater invertebrates, parasitism in water ecosystems, meiofauna, fauna of dendrothelms, lithothelms, springs, and underground waters).
