Part "Biodiversity: Seminar" One oral presentation, 25 min + 20 min discussion (50%) Part " Biodiversity: Excursion " One written report summarising the results from the 5-day excursion (50%)

Part "Biodiversity: Lecture" The class is organized as a weekly lecture introducing major orders of terrestrial arthropods. Lecture-like presentations are complemented by discussions. Self-organized work, in particular acquiring more detailed knowledge of the taxonomic groups is required. E-books Piper R, What Insects Do, and Why Schowalter TD, Insect ecology: an ecosystem approach Beutel RG & Friedrich F, Insect morphology and phylogeny Resh VH, Encyclopaedia of insects New TR, Insect species conservation: Ecology, biodiversity, and conservation Samways MJ, Insect diversity conservation Part "Biodiversity: Seminar" A scientific paper focusing on the ecology of a major order of terrestrial invertebrates is assigned to students. The content of the paper will then be presented as an oral presentation in the seminar by the students following the lecture. All seminar topics and material is provided. Part " Biodiversity: Excursion" Students will write a report on an assigned excursion. Participation in these half-day ecological excursions is mandatory. All material for the excursions is provided. E-books Brock PD, Britain's Insects: A Field Guide to the Insects of Great Britain and Ireland Santos JC, Measuring arthropod biodiversity: a handbook of sampling methods

The courses will take students to an ecological field station in Brandenburg for five days during the semesters excursion week. A small fee of 10 € will be collected from all participating students to cover some of the costs
