ECOL 5200Hierarchical Models for Ecology3
Application of hierarchical models to many different types of ecological observations for the purpose of estimating and explaining abundance and occupancy of animals in JAGS and R. Statistical exploration of many common survey designs (point counts, distance sampling, repeated observations of marked animals) that imperfectly record spatial and temporal variation in the abundance and distribution of wild populations. Use of simulated and real-world data sets to draw inference when dealing with missing data, changes in survey protocols, and imperfect detection. Max Credit: 3 Cross Listed: REWM 5200

ECOL 5400Community Ecology3
Community ecology is the study of interactions within and among groups of species. This course focuses on (1) the major classical concepts and theories in community ecology, (2) the ways in which population dynamics can impact communities and how community dynamics can impact ecosystem processes and functioning, and (3) implementation of quantitative methods for conducting research that includes community ecology.

ECOL 5680Landscape Genetics3-4
Provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary training and international collaboration uniting some of the most active landscape genetics groups in North America and Europe. A key objective of landscape genetics is to study how landscape modification and habitat fragmentation affect organism dispersal and gene flow across the landscape. Meeting this and other landscape genetic objectives requires highly interdisciplinary specialized skills making intensive use of technical population genetic skills and spatial analysis tools (spatial statistics, GIS tools and remote sensing). To bring these diverse topics and skills together effectively, we are using a distributed model of teaching. Population genetics, spatial analysis/ statistics, and previous experience in Rare all extremely useful but not required. Max Credit: 4 Cross Listed: Cross listed with: REWM 5680 .
