Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: (1) understand and explain basic morfological and anatomical information about selected invertebrate animals; to (2) connect it with the knowledge about their reproduction and (3) their development; to (4) work with information on their ecology and (5) their distribution.

Teaching methods
Lectures - especialy morfological and anatomical schemes of selected invertebrate animals in form of visual presentation supplemented with explanating comments of the tutor.
Assessment methods
Successful passing of examination, carried out by means of written test (ABCD), is based on extended study (from selected literature sources) as well as particularly on personal practical experience with morphology, anatomy etc. of selected species gained during practical course.
Language of instruction
Czech
