The course will take place in Skibotn area with remarkably high species number for such northern latitudes (68-69 degrees N) challenging the general concept that species richness decreases as latitude increases. Daily excursions to both lowland and mountain habitats will be combined with practical work in the class to identify the collected materials using the identification keys and learn diagnostic characters of plant and insect taxa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"elm-has-own-text\" dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.29.3&#8243; _i=&#8221;1&#8243; _address=&#8221;0.2.1&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.29.3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;77px|||||&#8221; _i=&#8221;0&#8243; _address=&#8221;0.2.1.0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\" class=\"elm-has-own-text\" dir=\"LTR\">Practical experience with morphology based species identification is in high demand in both basic and applied biological research.

The course will take place in Skibotn area with remarkably high species number for such northern latitudes (68-69 degrees N) challenging the general concept that species richness decreases as latitude increases. Daily excursions to both lowland and mountain habitats will be combined with practical work in the class to identify the collected materials using the identification keys and learn diagnostic characters of plant and insect taxa.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Practical experience with morphology based species identification is in high demand in both basic and applied biological research.
