Rydw i’n Bennaeth cwrs gradd Bioleg Forol ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe ac rydw i’n addysgu ecoleg maes, pysgodeg a bioleg infertebratau morol yn bennaf. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig yn y ffordd y mae anifeiliaid morol yn rhyngweithio â’u hamgylchedd, yn enwedig y ffordd y maen nhw’n ymdrin ag aflonyddiadau amgylcheddol fel asideiddio’r môr, y newid yn yr hinsawdd neu pan gyflwynir pathogenau.
This course is designed for Biology students transitioning from A' Level to Higher Education, and will guide students through a series of tailored modules built around the WJEC Biology A' Level specifications. Each module covers information from across the curriculum, helping to link key biological concepts and build from core knowledge to more complex applications. The learning activities will consist of a short (10 ¿ 20 minutes) recorded or annotated lecture that will include self-assessment of understanding by a short quiz consisting of multiple-choice questions. Further on-line materials will be provided to assist students with learning independently. Personal support will be available through online tutor meetings at arranged time.
This module follows on from BIO105 Animal Diversity to discuss the evolution, ecology, structure, functional physiology and exploitation by humans of the paraphyletic group of animals referred to as fish. A dissection will further investigate fish anatomy, emphasising the relationship between form and function, and a report using online data sources will demonstrate the wealth of data available to ichthyologists in the 21st century. Students will also give short group presentations at a virtual symposium.
This module introduces students to the vast diversity of marine invertebrate and the fundamental roles they play in marine ecology. Students will receive 15 lectures and two laboratory practicals covering the general themes of: marine invertebrate taxonomy and developmental biology; form, function and behaviour; comparative physiology; reproductive strategies and biogeography; and ecological roles. Students will also visit an outstanding intertidal environment to see the fundamental importance of marine invertebrates in this ecosystem. Students will be examined on their understanding of the lecture material, recommended reading and practical techniques.
This residential field course comprises practical work employing shore-based techniques to sample littoral and benthic marine habitats. Students will learn techniques for the identification of marine organisms and gain experience in the analysis and presentation of ecological data.
