Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students have an overview of the diversity of invertebrates, the most varied animal species and can apply their knowledge in practice.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to understand the systematics, phylogeny and evolutionary development of the structures of vertebrates and can apply their knowledge in practice.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with the most important taxa of the Mediterranean fauna and can identify and classify them. They are also able to conduct developmental biological experiments on marine invertebrates.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with the fauna and their habitats in selected biogeographic regions and are able to understand biogeographical interrelations.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to understand the role of Developmental Biology in modern Evolution Theory and are able to apply their knowledge in practice.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students understand the basics and special methods of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) including energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI). They are able to independently prepare tissues by fixing, embedding, trimming and cutting. They are able to independently work with a transmission electron microscope and to interpret the results gained.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to employ histological and immunohistological methods in biological research and diagnostics. They are also familiar with theoretical and practical aspects of microscopy, including fluorescence and contrast methods.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to understand and discuss interrelations between molecular and physiological processes and are able to apply their knowledge in practice.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students learn quantification methods for mRNA by using real-time polymerase chain reaction and get an insight into the way gene regulation with a special focus on circadian rhythm works. They are able to relate the results won in experiments to current literature and to evaluate them.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to understand the fundamentals of toxicological and ecotoxicological effects caused by pollution stress and can discuss them. They are able to put their knowledge into practice.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: The students are able to understand and discuss basic biological control processes and to use the experimental examination and simulation with computer-aided methods

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: With the courses offered in this module (partly held by guest lecturers) students get an insight into selected chapters of zoological sub-disciplines that are not covered by the elective modules 1-18.

Prerequisites for registration: the prerequisites of the respective curricula do apply

Learning Outcome: The objectives defined by the respective module give the students insights into another field of biology.
