| Undervisnings- form: |
Three weekly one-hour lectures and two-hour tutorials and one weekend field excursion. Lectures and tutorials may be combined. The tutorials include: Field excursions (capture and marking, counts; potentially bioacustics or collection of tissue samples), paper discussions with submission of essays, operational exercises (calculus), identification exercises, and preparation of specimens. Throughout the course, the students will work on their own ornithological project which will be handed in at the end of the course in the form of a scientific paper. |
| Indhold: |
Bird biology, including identification and taxonomy, functional morphology, ecology, evolution and behaviour |
| Kompetence- beskrivelse: |
The course aims to provide students with a theoretical and systematic knowledge of ornithology as a basis for continued learning about birds. The students will learn about the methods used in ornithological research and thereby obtain the ability to evaluate ornithological studies. Furthermore, they will obtain competences in communicating about scientific ornithological studies. After the course the students will be well qualified to start Master’s Thesis project within ornithology. |
| Målbeskrivelse: |
Upon the conclusion of the course, the student should be able to
• Describe all extant bird orders and identify most Danish bird species
• Explain basic aspects of the ecology, evolution, functional morphology and behaviour of birds
• Evaluate scientific ornithological papers
• Define ornithological questions and devise solutions
• Describe ornithological methods and apply a selection of these methods
• Analyse ornithological data sets
• Reflect on the solution to ornithological problems and general inference
