| Inhalt | The seminar of spring term 2009 is focussed on the topic urban ecology. Suggested topics for talks are High biodiversity in densely populated regions: what is cause, what is consequence? Why conservation pays: the collapse of the civilization of Easter Island. Macroecology of cities Human settlement type and the range dynamics of house rat and Norwegian rat. Culture vs. evolution: Lactose tolerance in humans Basics of city planning: ecological structuring of urban-industrial systems Nature conservation in the city: a paradoxon? A comparison of the city floras of Basel and Zürich. Secret companions: the synanthropic fauna. Environmental stress in urban regions: bio-indication and bio-monitoring. Wild mammals in the city. Loved or hated, but ever present: feral pigeons as a dominant element of the urban environment. Evolution at work: urbanization in animals. Can vegetated roofs replace natural habitats of autochthonous arthropods? Urbanrural gradients in woodland carabid beetle communities. Neophytes in the city: Gain or threat? Additional, own suggestions for topics are possible at the discretion of the seminar leaders. |

| Bemerkungen | The above mentioned topics are listed at the notice-board of NLU (entrance corridor). Interested students are kindly requested to indicate what topic they want to choose. Topics will be finally assigned during the first meeting, where seminar dates and the language of the seminar will be determined. Depending on the number of participants, Biogeographical Literature Seminar I and II will be held during the same time, in bi-weekly alternation, or in separate blocks. However, they will always be on Mondays 16:00-18:00. Guests (not giving a talk) are welcome. The course is offered every autumn term (with changing topics).

Accredibility and Requirements The Biogeographical Literature Seminar II (3CPs) is a seminar for advanced students. It is primarily offered to MSc students in environmental geosciences and geography. The seminar is also suitable for students of other curricula, such as MSc in Biology, Master in Sustainable Development or MA African Studies (please inquire with peter.nagel@unibas.ch, jan.beck@unibas.ch, or stefanie.vonfumetti@unibas.ch). Participants give a 45 minute talk, using suitable media support (e.g. PowerPoint slides), and provide a handout (incl. summary) of their talk to the audience.
