An integrated approach to marine invertebrate biodiversity: evolutionary and functional adaptations An integrated approach to marine invertebrate biodiversity: evolutionary and functional adaptations TRAINING COURSE - 2014 EDITION Chioggia (VE) - September, 8-13, 2014 Marine Biological Station and Didactic Pole of the Department of Biology, University of Padova The school aims to present the biology and ecology of marine invertebrate species in relationship to their habitat, for a better understanding of the marine environment and for an efficient use of it. It consists of lectures, laboratory activities and tutorials and students will be encouraged to make observations on living invertebrates, do experimental bench work, analyse results, and discuss recent bibliography.

TOPICS ADDRESSED IN THE COURSE:- Introduction to systematics: phylogeny and taxonomy- Features of the main groups of marine metazoans (cnidarians,
annelids, molluscs, echinoderms, hemichordates, tunicates), including anatomical body plan of the phylum and/or the main taxa
- Morphological and functional adaptations of species, with regard to their natural environment and their vertical zonation
- Lifestyles and their adapted major functions (respiration, nutrition, locomotion and reproduction)
