| INLAND AND MARINE WATER ECOLOGY
(objectives)
The main aim is to provide a solid knowledge on both abiotic and biotic features of ecological processes considered to be common in aquatic systems. A second goal is to develop identification ability of the main aquatic species of Mediterranean systems by a comparative analysis of the different life strategies and colonization patterns of extreme habitats, and the possibility to origin more and more structured multi-species assemblanges to start ecological series. During the course, it will be introduced methods and tools to perform aquatic investigations. Students will receive information to design and execute sampling sessions on plankton, benthos e nekton, to analyze and show findings. Finally students will learn to develop applicative aspects of work in diverse issues in the field of aquatic biomonitoring and hydrobiology.

(syllabus)
Cultural competences (Knowledge of:) The teaching aims to provide students with basic knowledge related to the evolution of the different ecological components, to assess the degree of functional adaptation to the habitat.
Methodological skills (Know how to perform:) acquire and use experimental data related to hydrobiological studies
Teaching program:
1) INTRODUCTORY LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY: PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER (TEMPERATURE-DENSITY, TRANSPARENCY, SALT COMPOSITION, SALINITY, CONDUCTIVITY, HARDNESS); WATER BODY THERMAL BALANCE; AQUATIC MOVEMENTS (CURRENTS, TIDE, SEICHE); DISSOLVED OXYGEN AND REGULATING FACTORS; CARBON DIOXIDE, BICARBONATE, CARBONATE, BUFFER SYSTEM, MINERAL ACIDITY AND ALKALINITY; NUTRIENT CYCLES; ORGANIC MATTER, TOTAL SOLIDS, SUSPENDED MATERIAL, SEDIMENTS, BOD AND COD.
2) AQUATIC LIFE: PLANCTON, NECTON E BENTHOS; CLASSIFICATION, METABOLISM AND LIFE CYCLES, COLLECTION METHODS AND TOOLS, ABUNDANCE AND BIOMASS ASSESSMENT; WATER COLUMN AND SEDIMENT ECOLOGY: PRIMARY PRODUCTION, SCRAPERS, SHREDDERS, AND SCAVENGERS: ENERGETIC FLOW IN FOOD PYRAMIDS AND WEBS; EXAMPLES OF SEA, COASTAL, LACUSTRINE, AND RIVER SYSTEMS
