Distribution patterns – endemism – Terrestrial and marine biogeographical regions. Island biogeography. Biogeography and biodiversity. Influence of human activities on the distribution of the organisms.
A four days lasting fieldwork aiming to the understanding of the distribution of the organisms and habitat types in relation to environmental changes. Observation of the horizontal distribution of habitats and adaptations of organisms to environmental changes (marine habitats, coasts, salt marshes and meadows, water courses and riparian forests).
