Description
This module completes the knowledge seen in semester 1 in the module COUNTING 1. It allows to deepen the knowledge of the tools to collect and analyze naturalist data. It also covers new skills on data processing. This will be divided into 3 sequences as follows:
Sequence 1 : Databases and processing
Structure, construction and use of databases, necessary for the management and analysis of naturalist data.
Sequence 2: Population monitoring
Tools for studying population dynamics (e.g., Capture-Mark-Recapture [CMR] method, Site Occupancy models).
Session 3: Using multivariate analysis
Presentation of multivariate analyses (e.g. Principal Component Analysis [PCA]), application mainly in connection with phytosociology and habitats.
Necessary pre-requisites
