Please note that "Spatial Ecology" (B4a) and "Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes" (B4b) belong together.

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).
