Quantitative Ecology is an advanced course covering ecological modeling and data analysis. In this course, students will explore the principles of mathematical modeling to describe population dynamics and species interactions. In addition, students will learn modern analytical approaches in the study of ecological communities and ecological experiments. This course should be taken in combination with Quantitative Ecology Lab (3??). In addition to theoretical quantitative foundations, students will acquire the analytical skills to implement mathematical and statistical models using the R computing language. Prerequisites: One ecology course (BIO 130/131, BIO 266/267, BIO 268/269 or BIO 364/365), and one statistics course (SDS 201 or SDS 220) or by permission of instructor. Corequisite: BIO 373. Enrollment limited to 20.
