"General linear models with 1 or more explanatory random variables: from translating the figure that answers the biological question to the statistical model, i.e., taking into account many effects and knowing how to interpret them
general properties seen through regression and 1-factor ANOVA (R2, F, ddl, least squares, likelihood, diagnosis, validation, goodness of fit, interpretation of effect sizes); nested and cross-factor ANOVA, multiple regression (notion of parameter and effects, and interaction)
incorporation of the dependence of explanatory random variables, confounding of effects (quantitative for multiple regression, and unbalanced designs for ANOVA)".

This course is conducted entirely in English. Its objective is twofold:
1. To enable students to improve their oral expression and comprehension in English
2. To allow students to enrich their vocabulary in the field of ecology that interests them most (e.g. marine ecology, terrestrial ecology).
Practical work: oral presentations made by students, listening to videos in English with English subtitles, quizzes, games.

The objective of this course is to provide the necessary basis in statistics to follow all the more elaborate modules of the curriculum, so it is a general refresher. Descriptive statistics are reviewed (quantile, polygon of cumulative frequencies, estimators from samples), simple tests are presented, essential graphs for univariate and multivariate data are presented, the general principle of a statistical test, the hypothesis plan, the notion of p-value, first and second species risk are presented. In practical exercises, students are also brought up to speed in the R environment.

Ecology and societies
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit aims to link theoretical ecology, its operational implementation and the issues of territories as seen by society's actors. Built on a format combining theoretical courses recalling the elements necessary for the understanding of field issues (ecosystem dynamics, anthropization, resilience of socio-ecosystems, in situ conservation, etc.), this UE includes several field blocks (each consisting of a preparatory TD/TP and an "active" field trip). The territories visited will allow the students to meet actors from society (managers, elected officials, associations, shepherds, etc.) whose position allows them to understand how ecological issues govern their actions, and how in return their actions impact biodiversity, its dynamics and its distribution.

Ecological restoration
ECTS

Faculty of Science
The general introduction of the EU lays the conceptual foundations of ecological rehabilitation and restoration and the resilience of ecosystems and aquatic environments.
The concepts of ecological and hydrological continuity, river morphology and hydrogeomorphology are explained and illustrated.
A field trip is an opportunity to analyze the issues, to pose hypotheses of functioning and to evaluate the impacts.
The practical exercises of the course are preferably directly linked to the field.
The main tools and know-how for the reintroduction of species are presented and accompanied by illustrative practical exercises:
- Animal model practical exercises: reintroduction of a vulture population
- Plant model practical exercises: transplantation.
- Riverbank practical training: and the notion of a turquoise network
The main impacts of soil sealing and interventions on aquatic environments (maintenance and development) and the methods for evaluating these impacts, accompanied by illustrative practical exercises:
- Water law practical training: evaluation of the impacts of soil sealing and hydrological compensation.
- Hydrogeomorphological practical exercises: analysis of historical and current hydraulic continuities.
Finally, the UE proposes to the learners to cross ecological and hydrological continuities and to evoke optimized restoration tracks.
