    Content:
    The lectures provide an introduction to Community Ecology, and give basics of analyzing biodiversity and community composition using methods in the statistical software R. The lectures are accompanied by applied examples for different community types (i.e. plants vs animals, terrestrial vs aquatic communitites) and cover the following topics:

    • Analysis of ecological communities using taxonomic and functional approaches (total and relative abundances, biodiversity indicators, functional traits, functional diversity, taxonomic and functional community composition)
    • Graphical visualization of variation within and between communities
    • Statistics for multivariate data including Principal Component Analysis (PCA ) ordination Nonparametric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) and other ordination methods and cluster analysis
    • Testing effects of environmental variables on community diversity and changes in community composition
    • Scale-dependence of biodiversity and approaches for standardized biodiversity comparisons
    • Analysis of ecosystem functions Learning objectives:
      After participation in this module the students will be able to approach research questions in community ecology independently. Specifically, in this module the students acquire the following knowledge and skills using R programming language:
      • Gain skills to prepare, visualize and analyse multivariate data of ecological communities and their composition using modern graphical and statistical methods and tools, including PCA, NMDS, and cluster analysis
      • Master basic skills in analysing similarity and dissimilarity withing and beetwing ecological communitites
      • Master skills to analyze biodiversity indices and functional trait measures of ecological communitites
      • Gain basic knowledge and skills to analyse ecosystem functions
      • Also, the students will gain experience in critically interpreting results in publications as well as in presenting findings of their own analyses in oral and written form.

    Content:
    In the seminars on the PC, students practically apply the topics and methods, learned during the lectures and seminars. Using a number of worked examples from the published ecological literature, students develop, evaluate, modify and solve the community analysis exercises using the R software under supervision and later independently. Students practice the selection of data analysis strategies for different datasets (e.g., chose appropreate methods for different multivariate datasets). Students learn how to interpret the results in the ecologically meaningful contexts.
    
    Learning objectives:
    In this module the students acquire the following knowledge and skills:

    • to analyze ecological communities using taxonomic and functional approaches (total and relative abundances, biodiversity indicators, functional traits, functional diversity, taxonomic and functional community composition)
    • to graphicaly visualize the variation within and between communities

    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.

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.

    Content:
    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.).
    
    Learning objectives:
    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.

    Content:
    Students will learn about flower structure and development and their implications for the evolution and systematics of flowering plant main lineages. They will also learn about the past and current hypotheses on their elusive origin and limitations that still prevent us to fully grasp the homology of their floral organs, and the latest reconstruction of the flower of their most recent common ancestor and successive diversification under natural and sexual selection.

    This course will combine 12 lectures, seminars, and labs on:

    -  Structure and development of flowers

    -  Floral organ functions and pollination syndroms

    -   Floral diversity and evolutionary trends in members of flowering plant main lineages and families of:

    •              ANA grade

    •              Magnoliids

    •              Monocotyledons

    •              Eudicotyledons (including basal eudicots and core eudictots)

    •              Core eudicots (including Fabids and Malvids in Rosids, and Campanulids and Lamids in Asterids)

    NOTE: Lectures will be available ONE week before the corresponding seminar and lab.

    Students have the fifth week to learn for the exam held on last Friday of course (20.06.2025)
    
    

     

    Learning objectives:
    Nach Besuch des Moduls besitzen die Studentinnen und Studenten vertiefte Kenntnisse in aktuellen Feldern innerhalb der Ökologie von Pflanzen und können kritische Analysen wissenschaftlicher Publikationen durchführen. Die Studentinnen und Studenten sind in der Lage, selbständig aus eher allgemeinen Fragestellungen konkrete und überprüfbare Hypothesen zu entwickeln, eine angemessene Versuchsplanung zu erarbeiten und durchzuführen.

    Students will also learn how to search and critically read scientific literature to prepare a presentation on a topic of their choice but relevant to the class, and to appreciate the importance of the peer-review process in Science by providing (and receiving) constructive feed-back on their presentation of their classmates (and their own), and writing a one-page review on a scientific research paper of their choice. NOTE: All seminars will start by a discussion on a paper directly related to the lecture material and lab of the previous day.

    Content:
    Students will also learn to dissect fresh flowers and study microtome sections to draw floral diagrams and formulas, and identify their different organs and functions to predict their pollination mode and reproductive biology and differentiate floral traits (1) that evolve independently by convergence in many unrelated lineages of flowering plants from those (2) that are potential synapomorphies of systematic interest and useful to recognize key flowering plant lineages and reconstruct their evolutionary trends and diversification. NOTE: Labs will include as often as possible a tour of the garden to collect fresh material studied in the class, and students who do not have dissecting tools will be provided with tweezers, needles, and razor blades.

    In this course students will read, discuss, and present „classic“ papers in Ecology and Evolution. This will enable students to understand how major ideas have developed, how some findings became influential and how some vanished. Learning objectives: To read a selection of classic papers; to summarise and explain papers to an audience in a simplified way; to formulate take home messages; to evaluate the broader significance of the findings and assess whether the ideas have stood the test of time; to formulate questions and comments from reading the classic papers; to develop group work-, feedback- and discussion skills; to assemble knowledge about how major ideas developed.

    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, invasion ecology and ecological economics.
    
    

    Learning objectives:
    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.

    The lectures will focus on a basic understanding of freshwater ecosystems (i.e. lakes, rivers, riparian areas). These include spatio-temporal physico-chemical properties of water bodies, nutrient turnover, food web interactions, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and a range of biodiversity aspects.
    The students will gain a basic understanding of the physical and biological structure and functioning of aquatic and semi-terrestrial ecosystems including important theoretical concepts of the mechanisms driving aquatic communities and biodiversity. They will be able to critically analyse and present current research problems and publications.
