focuses on the evolutionary basis of the recent snapshot of biological diversity. Individual species will be perceived as a product of long term evolution under complex constraints, including the ecological and ethological ones. The course will benefit from the information base provided in the first year and use it in the higher hierarchical level of biological complexity. The individuals will be an actors in the play of life which is complex, mutually interconnected, combining biotic and abiotic factors, nowadays highly affected by our civilization. General knowledge from the first year will be challenged by the diversity of adaptations reflecting the evolution, developmental constrains and particular ecological limits. The course On the Evolution and Ecology will set the stage for follow-up courses, particularly Biological techniques. The course will follow the prerequisite From molecules to cells and From cells to organisms. The course is built from topical blocks (see Syllabus) each of them consisting of lecture (3h) and workshop focused on primary literature as a Q&A session (2h). |

Final mark is based on the oral examination (67%) and results of tests taken during the course (33%). Oral examination takes place during the examination period and students must first obtain the evaluation for Q&A sessions, workshops and take-home exercises. |
