About the course
The world of invertebrates is inhabited by many strange and interesting creatures, and particularly in the marine environment, you encounter alien and fascinating life forms. This course will open this (to most people) unknown environment for you, and give you the tools and skills to identify those invertebrates you encounter, e.g., when doing a biological survey.
The teaching is partly based on e-learning, and partly on a one-week practical field work at Klubban Biological Station in Fiskebäckskil on the west coast of Sweden. For 2027, the field part is planned for 25 April-2 May.
