Students should understand the main factors underlying the abundance, distribution and dynamics of animal populations. They should learn the most important methods of detecting and counting prominent animal groups (e.g. birds) as well as analysing their spatial distribution. They should develop a good understanding of the most important terms of quantitative field work in English. Students will gain the ability to develop a detailed proposal concerning one self-chosen project about the number and distribution of an animal species or group of species in a defined area; to select the most appropriate of all the methods available for the respective research question asked; to discuss their own project results in the context of the current knowledge about the abundance and distribution of animals. Students should be able to work in groups; exchange effectively ideas and own research results with other groups; present project work in front of class.
Basic knowledge of ecology (as taught in an introductory course)
Methods of detecting animal species. Methods of trapping animals. Methods of counting: full count and sample count; point, transect and area count; importance of time of day and time of year; using behaviour as indicators; using maps for field work; identifying (bird) territories. Analysing count data; identifying different types of spatial distribution.
Lecture, multimedia presentations, practical field work, seminar work (literature)
