"Through the analysis of concrete cases, the course explores ecology to provide the skills and tools for understanding the environment that are essential for ecological design and planning. Case studies are presented both on a local scale in the mountain area and on a global scale with particular reference to sustainable development, biodiversity loss and food chain pollution. Topics include deforestation, ecotoxycology, ecological modelling, GIS, ecosystem services, climate change, food production, biomonitoring, biological invasions." . . "Presential"@en . "TRUE" . .

"Contents:\nThis course focuses on the fate of toxic compounds and their effects on populations and ecosystems. It deals with the assessment of both exposure and ecological effects, and their interconnection. Main subjects are exposure on higher biological organisation levels, ecological effects, bio-monitoring, risk assessment of anthropogenic stressors and natural stressors like cyanotoxins, and multiple stresses.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\n- perform ecotoxicological toxicity and bioassay experiments with non-standard test species;\n- interpret the results of chemical fate and eco(toxico)logical models;\n- perform microcosm and mesocosm experiment to evaluate effects on a food-web and interpret its results;\n- perform an advanced multivariate data analysis on chemical and biological monitoring data;\n- design, perform and evaluate your own experiment to test a self-formulated hypothesis;\n- conceptualise and organise experimental work and its interpretation as a group." . .
