What will I learn?

This Protistology Course provides a short, hands-on introduction to freshwater protists, covering their classification, main groups, and current tools for identifying them. You will learn how to sample in wetlands, use microscopes, identify them with DNA methods, and apply 18S metabarcoding techniques. It also covers their feeding habits, roles in nutrient and energy cycles, use as environmental indicators, disease patterns, and simple data analysis to help assess and manage ecosystems well.
