Lernorganisation: Basic knowledge of classic and modern approaches for modelling dynamics of populations and communities. Skilled in analytical thinking, independent application of models for practical research questions, development of simple models, and critical assessment of the possibilities and limitations of different modeling approaches. Ability
to develop an effective model concept. |
Leistungsnachweis: Term paper (max. 3 pages, 50%) and written examination (45 minutes, 50%)
Requirements:
* Term paper: Ability to develop an effective model concept.
* Written examination: Knowledge and understanding of essential characteristics of the modelling approaches covered in class. Ability to interpret model results. Knowledge of possibilities and limitations of the models. |
Sonstiges: Using examples from ecology in general and forest ecology in specific, we will cover the following modelling approaches and types: population growth (considering demographic and environmental noise, scramble and contest competition), metapopulation models, predator-prey models, forest growth models, patterns and dynamics of biodiversity,island biogeography, life tables, matrix models, individual-based models, and spatial models. We will also address how to develop a model concept. The course will consist of a mixture of lectures and hands-on work on the computer. |
