What will I learn?

This Protistology Course provides a short, hands-on intro to freshwater protists, covering their classification, main groups, and current tools for sorting them. You'll learn how to sample in wetlands, use microscopes, identify with DNA, and follow 18S metabarcoding steps. It also covers feeding habits, nutrient and energy flows, signs of environmental health, disease patterns, and simple data work to help assess and manage ecosystems well.
