Objectives
General aims: this module follows on from module EGENA_1 in the first semester. It provides the additional knowledge needed to carry out naturalist studies and manage natural areas. An important element is the consideration of ecological processes in regulatory aspects.
Teaching takes the form of 3 sequences.
Sequence 1: ecological processes and regulatory tools
By the end of the sequence, learners will have seen the ecological processes essential to the functioning of populations, and how these processes are taken into account in regulations.
Sessions 1 & 2: Landscape fragmentation, metapopulation, corridors, green and blue screens.
Session 3: range and prioritization of issues...
Work to be carried out outside the classroom: on the same taxonomic groups chosen in Semester 1, learners work on the measures taken or to be taken to apply these processes to the management of the species concerned.
Sequence 2 : New tools
By the end of the sequence, learners will have mastered the tools of oral communication and will have seen the use of molecular biology tools in naturalist appraisals.
Session 1: ADNe and the tools of genetics
Sessions 2 & 3: Review the rules of oral presentation and put them into practice by preparing a 20-minute slide show following on from sequence 1. Presentations should incorporate the knowledge acquired in sessions 1 and 2, applying it to the taxa chosen. The presentation will be evaluated and graded.
Sequence 3: Case study
Based on a real-life situation, learners carry out all the stages of a naturalistic study. They produce a 5-page report.
