The student will acquire knowledge on different concepts and a more profound insight in a number of selected topics related to biodiversity. The complexity of the term biodiversity, how to assess biodiversity (e.g. indices), speciation, links to ecological niches and to societal issues, such as climate change, urbanization and risks of invasive species, are examples of concepts that will be addressed. During several practical exercises and excursions, the student will be familiarized with often less known taxonomical groups.
