300145 PP Entwicklungsbiologie mariner Evertebraten (2013S)

This practical course has two parts, an experimental developmental biology part and a faunistic part. Part1: Using species available at the station (cnidarians, polychaetes, sea urchins, urochordates), development will be studied and manipulated. Part 2: students will examine samples of plancton and corralligene and determine larvae and marine species. Teaching is in English (and partly in German), since most instructors are not german speaking. As prerequisite, the student must have the "Baupläne1 and 2" and the "VO Einführung in die Entwicklung der Tiere" or the VO "Molecular developmental biology". The course is restricted to about 10 students, depending on the availability of rooms in the station.
