課程概述

主要依上年B441620潮間帶生態學為藍本,以英文授課型式介紹潮間帶生態學,並在課程中以3堂課在關渡挖子尾自然保護區及和平島海濱公園觀察沙灘,紅樹林及岩岸之生物及調察方法。學生學習方法包括聽課,小組討論及撰寫報告。

This course will be based on the last year’s Intertidal Ecology (B441620), being conducted in English to teach the basic intertidal ecology and use this system as examples to introduce the basic concepts in population and community ecology, common research methods, statistical techniques and writing skills in ecological studies. This course has 3 lessons based in Wa-Zhi-Wei and He-Ping-Dao to observe intertidal organisms and introduce the basic field techiniques in intertidal ecological studies.

Contents:
1. General introduction to ecological patterns and processes
2. Tides
3. Waves
4. Rocky shores
5. Field observation at He Ping Dao
6. Group discussion on data
7. Sandy shores
8. Field observation at Wa Zhi Wei
9. Group discussion on data
10. Mangroves
11. Field observation at Wa Zhi Wei
12. Group discussion on data
13. Factors affecting vertical and horizontal distribution of intertidal organisms
14. Predator and prey relationships on coastal ecology
15. Skills in writing and reading marine biology paper 1
16. Skills in writing and reading marine biology paper 2
17. Discussion 1
18. Discussion 2
19. Student presentation




 

課程目標
介紹學生潮汐之形成,沙灘,紅樹林及岩岸之生物分佈及田野調察方法

Learning outcomes:
At the end of this course you should be able to:
1. describe the physical environmental factors (e.g., waves, tides) shaping the intertidal environment
2. understand the basic factors affecting the distribution and abundance of intertidal organisms
3. understand the factors limiting species distribution patterns on the vertical intertidal gradient and study the methods to measure and investigate these patterns
4. design experimental studies to investigate patterns (e.g., zonation) and processes (e.g. competition) in intertidal areas
5. plan a simple experimental and statistical study on intertidal ecology.
6. review and critique scientific papers
