Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture covers the habitats along the European coasts from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean Sea. We will focus on the typical species communities in these habitats and their dependence on abiotic and biotic environmental parameters. Temperature, tidal regimes, geology, and historical-biogeographical conditions determine the diversity of sub- and eulitoral species assemblages. We present typical examples of benthic communities in the Norwegian and North Sea, southern European Atlantic coasts, the Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Seas. The lecture intends to link introductions to marine biology with the biodiversity-centered marine field courses.
