TERRESTRIAL ECTOTHERMS THERMAL ECOLOGY IN A CHANGING WORLD: THEORY AND PRACTICE

From March 21, until March 23, 2022 – CIBIO-InBIO, Vairão, Portugal (Online & Face-to-face)

The course will provide the students with an overview of the theory of thermal adaptation, with a particular emphasis on terrestrial ectotherm animals. The sessions will cover animal thermoregulation, links between temperature and life-history traits, adaptation to anthropogenic climate change, and biogeographical aspects of thermal biology. The practice will explore some of the most used technique to study thermal biology.
