Brief description
Competition and predation are two of the antagonistic relationships between species. Both apply to organisms from all major branches of the tree of life. We will look at how they shape the biological reality, from the level of individuals involved in these interactions to the functioning of the ecosystems of which they are a part. We start with predation aiming to answer some critical questions. How do predators increase their chances of meeting prey and successfully attacking? How do they choose their prey? How do prey avoid encounters with predators, and how do they defend themselves when an encounter does occur? Do predators affect their prey populations more strongly through their consumption or through fear effects? When does an arms race happen? Is man a super-predator? We will also look at intraspecific predation, cannibalism, in which intraspecific competition sometimes manifests itself. |

Brief description
The main goal of the lecture is to show how much the present complexity and diversity of the living world depends on its evolutionary history. A laboratory class is connected with the lecture, dealing with basic methods of palaeobiology and phylogenetics, as well as ways of inference enabling presentation and testing of phylogenetic and evolutionary hypotheses. |

Brief description
(in Polish) 2 x 45 h ćw. (2x6 dni) w dowolnie wybranych dwóch z trzech niżej wymienionych Zakładów. Zajęcia w całości prowadzone są w terenie 1. Zakład Ekologii. Zajęcia odbywają się w Urwitałcie (Mazury). Studenci otrzymują do wykonania określone zadania badawcze (tzw. projekty). Projekty dotyczą zagadnień z zakresu ekologii populacji i zgrupowań wielogatunkowych. Obiektem badań są ptaki, ssaki, płazy i wybrane bezkręgowce. 2. Zakład Hydrobiologii. Zajęcia odbywają nad jez. Roś (Mazury). Tematyka zajęć dotyczy sposobu funkcjonowania organizmów (makrofitów, planktonu, bentosu i ryb) w środowiskach słodkowodnych - ich rozmieszczenia oraz relacji z abiotycznymi i biotycznymi elementami ekosystemów. 3. Białowieska Stacja Geobotaniczna. Zajęcia odbywają się na terenie Puszczy Białowieskiej i poświęcone są analizie bogactwa gatunkowego, struktury i dynamiki zbiorowisk leśnych pierwotnego pochodzenia, ich związków z siedliskiem i miejsca w krajobrazie. |

Brief description
The full course is divided into lectures (30 hours) and laboratory (60 hours). Lectures are related to: 1/ the role of immune cells and molecules in innate and adaptive immunity in mammals in antigen-dependent and -independent conditions; 2/ the regulation of development of the immune system and its activity involved in body defense, immunological surveillance and maintenance of homeostasis; 3/ recognition of self and non-self antigens; 4/ mechanisms involved in pathological immune response (hypersensitivity, autoimmunity and immune deficiency); 5/ modulation of immune system activity by exogenous agents, genetic engineering methods. Laboratory is complementary to lectures and includes: 1/ anatomy of the immune system; 2/ morphology of leukocytes; 3/ methods of immune cells isolation from blood and lymphoid organs; 4/ assays for investigations of immune cells activity; 5/ application of flow cytometry for analysis of phenotype and basic function of immune cells. |

Brief description
The course includes two complementary parts: lecture and laboratory exercises. During the lecture, students will be introduced to the knowledge of the diversity of structure, specificity and mechanisms of action of enzymes. Based on representative examples of enzyme proteins, theories of the mechanisms of catalysis and kinetics of enzyme reactions will be discussed. The practical use of enzymes will be discussed using examples of the application of enzyme systems in biotechnological processes. In the laboratory section, students will become familiar with modern techniques and methods used in enzyme purification procedures, including various types of protein fractionation and chromatography. They will also learn methods for determining enzyme activity using spectrophotometric techniques. An integral component of the laboratory will be data processing and report preparation. |

Brief description
(in Polish) Wykład jest pomyślany jako wprowadzenie do problematyki ochrony przyrody i przygotowanie do realizacji późniejszych przedmiotów kierunkowych i specjalizacyjnych. Studenci zapoznają się z naukowymi podstawami ochrony przyrody, jej relacjami z innymi dziedzinami wiedzy i gospodarki, różnymi koncepcjami działań ochronnych i podstawowymi metodami stosowanymi w ochronie gatunków i ekosystemów. W zarysie przedstawiane są najbardziej aktualne problemy ochrony przyrody, jak np. ochrona zasobów genetycznych, zmiany klimatu, restytucja zdegradowanych ekosystemów, zapobieganie wymieraniu gatunków, a także organizacyjne i prawne aspekty ochrony przyrody w skali krajowej, europejskiej i międzynarodowej. |
