Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biology of organisms and ecology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
• Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in the biology of organisms and ecology.
• Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
• Contributing to a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
• Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
• Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
• Organise and lead a research, development or innovation project to completion.
• Methodically research valid scientific information, critically analyse, propose and argue potentially innovative solutions to targeted problems.
• Master communication techniques.
• Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
• Master the techniques of written and oral scientific communication in both French and English.
• Adapt their communication to a variety of audiences.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Aquire new knowledge independently.
• Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy to evolve in new contexts.
• Apply scientific methodology.
• Critically reflect on the impact of their discipline in general, and on the contribution to projects.
• Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

To initiate students to main laboratory techniques used in ecophysiology of aquatic animals. After this session, students should be able to measure respiration rate, photosynthesis of symbionts (zooxanthellae), and growth speed of aquatic animals under controlled conditions. As much as possible, the practical part is taking place in the filed (Calvi, Corsica)

Content of UE

Respiration; Somatic growth; Photosynthesis; Bioenergetic; Respirometer; Skelettogenesis; Assimilation; Experimentation.

Prior Experience

Marine ecology, plant and animal physiology. Knowledge in general oceanography is necessary, so this course is co-requisite.
