      Lecture:
      The lectures will deliver an introduction to the theory of Biological and Ecological modelling, and give insights on how applying those tools to specific ecosystems. The lecture will introduce different topics of mathematical modelling, expose the basic theory of the differential equations systems and its application to describe the time dynamics of biological and ecological systems. Knowledges of differential systems are usefull, as the basis of process-based models widely used in ecology. The purposes of this course are (1) to give an overview of the theory of the differential systems, (2) applying this theory in the particular context of population dynamics in order to describe with models various classical situations emerging in biology and in ecology (prey-predator, consumer-resources, epidemiology), (3) analyze the model, with both analytical and numerical methods, to understand the key behavior of the systems and thus the overall dynamics affecting each populations, (4) understand the key role of functional responses in the writing of models on each populations dynamics behavior, (5) opening to more complex process-based models in the field of community ecology, (6) explore specific technics to understand the behaviour of more complex system (sensitiviy analysis by example). Objectives of this course include:

      • Reminder of basic mathematical tools (analysis) to understand the theory of differential equations
      • Syntax in R, language that will be used for numerical simulation of the model
      • Translating scientific problems into models and the key role of functional responses
      • Analytical resolutions of differential equations: steady states of the system, stability and attractivity of the steady states, bifurcation between steady states.
      • Numerical resolutions of differential equations, utilization of the DeSolve package, numerical illustration of the analytical results
      • Building of a process-based model, based on the theory of this course, make the implementation with R to solve the model and analysis of the key behaviour.

        In the seminar part, the topics covered in the lecture will be discussed and deepened. The seminar will be the opportunity for the students to learn practical methods and tools for performing the analysis of models. We will see analytical methods for solving linear differential equations systems in dimension 1 and 2, and in the case of the separation of variables. We will solve the system to determine the steady states. Objective of this seminar will be to give methods to understand the structural behavior of the model. This analytical study will give the basis of what we could expect from the numerical analysis of the system. During, the seminar, we will also study the syntax to perform a proper numerical integration of the system with R to simulate broad figures to illustrate the model dynamics and thus understand the processes involved in the population dynamics.

        In the seminar, the covered topics, analyses and statistical methods are applied practically on the computer. Data import, data management and, data visualization with the R software are carried out first under supervision and later independently. The selection of methods and strategies for data analysis for new data sets are practised. Many examples from ecological studies are used to independently create and adapt a wide variety of graphics, carry out statistical analyses and correctly interpret the results in an ecological context. Finally, with the help of their own group projects, students apply statistical methods completely independently and present their results in oral and written form to a specialised audience.

        In the exercise, the topics of the lectures are calculated by hand and by using R. Programming with the software R will be done under guidance and later independently. A wide range of examples from biological studies will be used to set up and solve systems of equations. We will study the typology of differential systems and study explicit criteria to determine the stability of those steady states and understand the key interest of this property. During the exercises, we will focus on specific models of prey-predator systems, of fishing, of epidemiology with the case of the Malaria and with the classical SIR models. Objectives of this seminar on PC will be to explore the broad numerical solutions to solve, analyze and illustrate a model with R. An opening to the software Simile, a visual modelling frame based on an object-based representation with an easy structure for integrating a spatially explicit structure. The last seminar am PC will be a facultative open class on potential numerical issues to solve the systems encountered in the project that will be part of the assessment of the course.

        Qualification goals: The module teaches a broad spectrum of knowledge about physiology, genetics, molecular biology, and evolution of bacteria. It has also a strong focus on technical skills and a variety of methods. After successfully completing this module, students will be able to identify, formulate, and discuss subject specific questions and hypotheses; they are able to design experimental strategies to test their hypotheses and to plan and conduct experiments independently. Contents: The content and topic of this course revolves around leaf surface microbiology. Leaf surfaces are a great example for natural habitats that are colonised by bacteria. For this course, novel bacterial strains were isolated from plant leaf surfaces and will be further characterised using classical microbiological and molecular methods, as well as whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics to assemble and annotate bacterial genomes. To give context to the characterisation of leaf-associated bacterial isolates, the lecture series and seminars will focus on current methods in microbial ecology, genomics and phyllosphere microbiology.

        The module teaches a broad spectrum of knowledge about physiology, genetics, molecular biology, and evolution of bacteria. It has also a strong focus on technical skills and a variety of methods. After successfully completing this module, students will be able to identify, formulate, and discuss subject specific questions and hypotheses; they are able to design experimental strategies to test their hypotheses and to plan and conduct experiments independently. Contents: The content and topic of this course revolves around leaf surface microbiology. Leaf surfaces are a great example for natural habitats that are colonised by bacteria. For this course, novel bacterial strains were isolated from plant leaf surfaces and will be further characterised using classical microbiological and molecular methods, as well as whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics to assemble and annotate bacterial genomes. To give context to the characterisation of leaf-associated bacterial isolates, the lecture series and seminars will focus on current methods in microbial ecology, genomics and phyllosphere microbiology.

        Inhalte:
        Students will learn about cutting-edge techniques for the investigation of key concepts in the synergistic field of neuronal function, maintenance and degeneration (from molecules to dynamic processes in the establishment of robust brain function) across genetic model organisms (mouse, zebrafisch, fly, worm). A lecture series is part of the practical course, covering current topics relating to neuronal function, maintenance and degeneration, ranging from neuroanatomy to neurophysiology (including the visualization of intracellular transport, neuronal activity in the living animal, and manipulation of neuronal activity). Specific papers will be discussed. Every student will present one research publication in form of an oral presentation (Referat).

        Qualifikationsziele: Upon completion of this module, students will have acquired basic knowledge covering the most important methods in modern Neurobiology using genetic model organisms. Successful students will acquire skills covering several synergistic areas: (i) in modern neuroanatomy supported by molecular-genetic methods (including fluorescent and confocal microscopy), (ii) in the visualization and manipulation of neuronal activity in vivo, and (iii) in modern concepts and experimental approaches towards understanding neuronal degeneration on a mechanistic level. Students will be able to understand seminal publications in the field and to discuss them critically.

        Knowledge about modern, relevant research techniques will be acquired and applied. During the 4th week there will be no lectures or practical course, but one research paper as well as the results from the practical course will be orally presented on separate occasions.

        Inhalte:
        Students will learn about cutting-edge techniques for the investigation of key concepts in the synergistic field of neuronal function, maintenance and degeneration (from molecules to dynamic processes in the establishment of robust brain function) across genetic model organisms (mouse, zebrafisch, fly, worm). A lecture series is part of the practical course, covering current topics relating to neuronal function, maintenance and degeneration, ranging from neuroanatomy to neurophysiology (including the visualization of intracellular transport, neuronal activity in the living animal, and manipulation of neuronal activity). Specific papers will be discussed. Every student will present one research publication in form of an oral presentation (Referat).br>
        Qualifikationsziele: At the end of the module, students will have gained a deep understanding of the advanced concepts covering neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. The topics covered will span evolutionary conserved molecular mechanisms of embryology, pattern formation in neural circuits, axon pathfinding, synaptogenesis, neuronal maintenance, autophagy, degenerative diseases, and neuropathology. The course will provide the students with an overview of the current state-of-the art of research in these fields, as well as with practical expertise on a high level, thereby providing them with the ability to understand and evaluate current scientific publications.

        Knowledge about modern, relevant research techniques will be acquired and applied. During the 4th week there will be no lectures or practical course, but one research paper as well as the results from the practical course will be orally presented on separate occasions.

        Kommentar

        Contents:
        We present the fundamentals of collection management and scientific curation using the example of the Berlin Botanic Garden and its physical and digital collections. In our module, you will learn the theoretical basis for this and gain in-depth insights behind the scenes into how the individual collection types (living collection, herbarium, seed bank, DNA bank, etc.) are maintained and further developed. In addition to the two lecturers, colleagues from all collection-holding sections of the Berlin Botanic Garden will participate in order to give you an understanding of the functioning of a large, internationally networking institution. This gives you a practical understanding of the interaction between different professional groups and the qualifications they require. Despite the obvious focus on botanical topics, the knowledge acquired can be transferred to the entire professional field of collection management and curation and thus to other, also non-biological, collections. Collection and herbarium techniques depending on the organism group (taxonomy and biodiversity of plants, fungi and algae), aims and tasks of botanic gardens (seed banks, ex situ conservation), documentation, data management and information ressources (libraries, offline and online databases), preparation of identification keys and taxonomic monographs, science communication and visitor information (exhibition management, guided tours etc.).

        Qualification goals:
        The students possess up-to-date and structured specialist knowledge at a high level in the field of collection management and curation. They know the collection and information management of an international biological collection in order to record biodiversity and can confidently apply corresponding methods. They know methods of knowledge transfer and are able to create popular science information as well as to present and discuss data in a competent way.

        Relevant information for students The module can be studied in General Biology as well as in the specialisations Biodiversity, Evolution and Ecology and Plant Sciences. Also suitable for doctoral students. During the field course (15 days (full-day) in the 3rd block (24.06. - 26.07.2024) or at the beginning of the semester break, but most probably in July), travel costs for transport, accommodation and, if necessary, rental cars and fuel arise. For these costs, the BCP department usually grants a travel allowance; however, a personal contribution of at least 22 € per day is required. Knowledge of the important native plant families is required. Additional module information: Modulbeschreibung Organismen und ihre Umwelt

        Successful participation is a prerequisite for taking part in the ecological-floristic field course in the Alps (15 days (full-day) in the 3rd block (24.06. - 26.07.2024) or at the beginning of the semester break, but most probably in July). The seminar is only possible in combination with this field course. (a. Partial course in the module " Biodiversity of selected habitats ", c. Partial course in the module" Flora and vegetation of selected habitats " of the export module for the MSc Geography.)

        Contents:
        Theoretical introduction to the subject: geography, geology, soil science, palaeontology, flora, fauna, ecology, influence and interactions of abiotic and biotic factors. Practical investigations, identification of recent organisms or fossils and ecological relationships, conducting ecological experiments. Evaluation of collected data, comparison with literature references and critical presentation.
        Qualification goals:
        The students are able to collect data on different forms and levels of biodiversity and to conduct ecological experiments and observations from a scientific point of view. They are familiar with different forms of data collection and evaluation and can plan and implement their own research programme in the field. Furthermore, they are able to classify such data and present it in a professional way.

        Contents:
        The lecture covers how ecological research is applied to pressing social-ecological questions in our increasingly globalized world. The main focus will be on how biotic interactions (such as predator-prey and host-parasite interactions, competition and mutualism) are changing in the face of biological invasions, climate change, urbanization, habitat fragmentation and pollution in the Anthropocene. Classic ecological research concepts and insights are combined with interdisciplinary aspects of modern research fields, for example disease ecology and ecological economics.

        Qualification goals:
        At the end of the course, participants will have an advanced understanding of biotic interactions and how they are changing in a globalized world. They will be familiar with classic ecological knowledge and how it is applied to ongoing changes in the Anthropocene.
