Seminar: Spatial Ecology (B4a) (74025)

WS 2020/2021
Tu.: 12:00-14:00, S 56 / PC-Pool ITS (RWI EG1.0.00.117)

Frank Weiser

S, 2 ECTS

Recommended for 3rd semester!

First meeting: tba

Starting date Seminar: tba

Please note that "Spatial Ecology" and "Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes" belong together.

Please enrol on e-learning. The e-learning course page covers the seminar "Spatial Ecology" as well as the exercise "Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes". Enrollment is only once necessary.

Learning Objectives: Spatial processes play an important role in ecology, e.g. for the persistence of single populations, expansion of invasive species or preservation of species diversity. During this module, students should develop a problem-oriented understanding for the essential spatial processes like expansion and they should also develop skills to apply and develop dynamic models.

Course Content: The Seminar „Spatial Ecology“ works with examples of ecological spatial phenomena (e.g. source-sink dynamics, metapopulations, invasions, coexistence). The exercise „Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes“ covers numerical simulations of spatial processes (e.g. cellular automaton models, species distribution models). The relevant modelling approaches will be applied and discussed.

Please check the e-learning and cmlife at the beginning of the semester, as changes due to Covid-19 might occur.
