Indonesian Archipelago: Animal Biodiversity

Indonesian Archipelago: Animal Biodiversity

Description

This course learn about zoogeography, biodiversity and its function, and the management of diversity of Indonesian animals. Indonesian animals diversity is studied based on the taxon selected, including the  invertebrates (bees, beneficial insects, aquatic invertebrates) and vertebrates (birds, mammal, primates, including humans). This course is complemented with field trips to broaden knowledge of the students.

Learning Outcomes

Students understand and can explain zoogeography, biodiversity (invertebrates to vertebrates selected taxon), function of animal diversity in human life and the environment, and management of animal diversity.
