> Animals move across different spatial and temporal scales either as part of
> their daily life or as part of seasonal migrations to exploit resources in
> the environment. Well known examples are the global scale seasonal migrations
> in birds, sea turtles, fish and mammals, such as whales and wildebeests. Also
> movements at smaller scales occur, such as the vertical movements in
> plankton, the dispersal in soil collembolans and movements of pollinating
> insects. But what are the ecological causes and evolutionary consequences of
> animal movements?
>
> During this two-week course you will get insight in a number of different
> methods and approaches to study the migration of birds, insects, fish,
> amphibians and mammals, ranging from experimental studies in the laboratory
> to tracking long-distance migration in wild animals. Lectures will be given
> by international authorities in the field as well as by researchers in the
> CAnMove Group at Lund University covering the following areas:
>
> * Locomotion
> * Bird Ringing
> * Migration & Dispersal
> * Orientation & Navigation
> * Ecophysiology
> * Genetics of Migration
> * Migration & Population Ecology
> * Evolution & Patterns of Migration
> * Migration & Conservation
> * Ecophysiology
> * Modelling Migration
>
> In addition to lectures, there will be time for own projects, an excursion to
> the bird migration station at Falsterbo, demonstrations of bird ringing and
> orientation experiments as well as tracking and radar techniques and a tour
> to the wind tunnel. During the time of the course we will also have
> literature seminars, and you will have ample opportunities for discussion and
> further gain experience in presenting your research to fellow students.

> Application deadline 31 August 2011
> Maximum enrollment 40 persons
> The course fee: 3000 SEK
