Course contents :
|
| Within the framework of this course we will try to systematically describe a series of facets relating to all the marine invertebrate phyla (from unicellular through to chordates). For each group we will describe: the structural plan and its variations in the phylum, larvae and methods of reproduction, any methods of movement and how nutrients are taken, and finally we end up with a few comments of an ecological scale (abundance and diversity, impact on the environment, ...).
This course is routinely illustrated with slides (classic or Powerpoint) in order to show the organisms as well as overheads to illustrate the structures. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| To draw up a complete table of the world of marine invertebrates (non-planktonic) and to teach students how to recognise and situate them in the table. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic knowledge of the animal kingdom. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Other than a few visits to the Zoology museum, practical work will be integrated into the fieldwork organised jointly with Sylvie GOBERT, "Marine Ecology", STARESO oceanographic Station (Corsica) |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Six to 8 times a 2-2.5 hours theoretical learning |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| A collection of all the overheads used in the course will be distributed at the end of each course. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Oral examination: two overheads to be commented, and ten slides to be recognised (saying why). |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| Field trip in the Marine Station STARESO (Corsica), during one week, joint to the practicals of the course of Marine Ecology. |
