Population ecology modelling course
Description
How do the growth and viability of populations depend on factors such as stochasticity, class-structure, and density-dependence? We study these questions in a context of management and conservation, using computer simulations in Matlab.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the participants
-understand how growth and viability of populations depend on factors such as stochasticity, class-structure, density-dependence
-can write computer simulations in Matlab to study these effects
-know the assumptions and limitations such models, and can interpret them in a context of management and conservation
