Praktikum zu Pflanzenbiologie II - 2 ECTS
Günter Hoch, Markus Fischer
Das Praktikum ergänzt die einführende Vorlesung zu ökophysiologie und Stressphysiologie der Pflanzen und führt die wichtigsten Methoden der ökologischen Pflanzenphysiologie ein. Die Studierenden werden wichtige ökophysiologische Parameter im Feld und in Laborexperimenten messen, analysieren und präsentieren.
Lecture Series in Plant and Animal Conservation Ecology (PACE) - 1.5 ECTS
Raphaël Arlettaz, Markus Fischer
The goal of this lecture series is to provide students with a broad view of conservation research and practice, and to contribute to bridging the gap between the two. We invite people working in biodiversity conservation within different professional frameworks (NGOs, federal and cantonal administration, media), as well as people carrying out conservation research. Each speaker provides materials which the students have to study beforehand.

Statistical Analysis of Experiments for Plant Ecologists: An Introduction to R - 3 ECTS
Daniel Prati, Markus Fischer
An overview on experimental design and statistical analyses for plant ecologists. After a short recap of the basics, the course focuses on univariate analyses of experimental studies, incl. linear models, random effect and mixed models and the analysis of more complex designs such as split-plots and nested designs. The course also introduces R, a free software for statistical analyses and graphics.
