The lecture provides insights into basic principles in ecology with particular focus on the biology of tropical habitats including tropical biocenosis. Special attention is given to the global importance of tropical systems (“ecosystem goods” and “ecosystem services”) as well as to biological specialties and aspects of particular adaption in these highly diverse biomes. In the seminar the students learn to perform problem based scientific literature research, to present recent publications and to critically discuss these new findings.
