Description
This teaching unit aims to explore the fungal kingdom in its biological, ecological and evolutionary dimensions. Through a series of lectures, supported by group work sessions (Td and TP), students will become familiar with these organisms, their biological specificities (particularly with regard to their reproduction) and their roles in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, the place of fungi in human societies (food and medicine in particular) will be explored in the framework of this course, which also aims to analyze the links between biodiversity and human societies.
Objectives
- Position the kingdom of fungi in the body of biology of organisms acquired by students during the degree (scope, specificity, evolutionary links, etc.)
- integrate these organisms and the ecological dimension into the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems
- Positioning mushrooms in terms of societal issues through the analysis of their place in our daily lives
Necessary pre-requisites
- Basic foundation in organismal biology from an understanding of animal and plant models. Basic concepts in ecology (beginner level)
