Understanding Data Processing, Analysis, and Management2

This module complements the knowledge covered in Semester 1 in the COUNTING 1 module. It provides an in-depth understanding of the tools used to collect and analyze naturalist data. It also introduces new skills in data processing. This will be divided into three sequences as follows:

Sequence 1: Databases and processing

Structure, construction, and use of databases necessary for the management and analysis of naturalistic data.

Sequence 2: Monitoring populations

Tools for studying population dynamics (e.g., Capture-Mark-Recapture [CMR] method, Site Occupancy models).

Sequence 3: Using multivariate analyses

Presentation of multivariate analyses (e.g., Principal Component Analysis [PCA]), mainly applied in relation to phytosociology and habitats.
