Description
This module completes the knowledge acquired in semester 1 in module COUNTING 1. It provides a deeper understanding of the tools for collecting and analyzing naturalist data. It also covers new data processing skills. 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-Marking-Recapture [CMR] method, Site Occupancy models).
Sequence 3: Using multivariate analyses
Introduction to multivariate analysis (e.g. Principal Component Analysis [PCA]), mainly applied to phytosociology and habitats.
