Insects in a changing environment

Module type: Theoretical modules
Module name at WueStudy: Neurobiology, Behavioural Physiology and Animal Ecology
Semester: winter
ECTS points: 10
Course completion: Exam and Seminar

Changing environments impact all organisms on earth. The environment affects neurobiology, behaviour, and navigation. Animals make use of endogenous clocks to predict and adapt to daily or seasonal changes of the environment. Environmental changes, which are often man-made, like climate change, affect the individual behaviour, biotic interactions, the distribution of species, species communities, and chemical and evolutionary adaptations.
