ENTOM/F&WECOL 711

과목 설명

Examines common methods of multivariate data analysis in ecology and environmental science. Covers methods for the analysis of complex, multidimensional datasets that are collected in the study of plant, invertebrate, fish, and bird communities. Addresses the concurrent analysis of the environmental factors that may drive community distributions. Provides the basis for predictive modeling of distributions across landscapes. General methods covered include ordination (PCA, DCA, NMDS, CCA), clustering (or classification), and other comparative analyses of data matrices (ANOSIM, Mantel tests). Includes an applied, "hands-on" approach on how to use these tools, and the circumstances under which their uses are either appropriate or inappropriate.

BASIC AND APPLIED INSECT ECOLOGY

ENTOM 450

Covers population and community ecology, plant-insect interactions, insect biodiversity and biogeography, and applied ecology. Weaves basic ecological theory and principles with their application to entomological problems such as conservation, biological control, agriculture, and insect-vectored diseases of plants and humans. Uses current entomological and ecological scientific literature and draws on examples from a broad range of natural and managed ecosystems. Broadens from pairwise species interactions (e.g., a predator and its prey) to the entire community of organisms and their physical environment. Emphasizes the theoretical principles and historical background underlying the various topics with a link to potential applications in agriculture, conservation, pest management, and/or invasion biology.

ADVANCED QUANTITATIVE METHODS

GEOG 560

Selected topics in the analysis of spatial distributions with emphasis on multivariate techniques.

GENERAL ECOLOGY

BOTANY/F&WECOL/ZOOLOGY 460

Ecology of individual organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, landscapes, and the biosphere. The interaction of organisms with each other and their physical environment. These relationships are studied, often in quantitative terms, in both field and laboratory settings.

DATA AND GIS TOOLS FOR ECOLOGY

F&WECOL 395

Quantitative tools applicable to the investigation of ecological problems, including but not limited to, statistics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, and spatial analysis. Overview of commonly used quantitative techniques in ecological sciences with an emphasis on GIS and spatial analysis. Introduces spatial tools and practical applications using ecological/environmental data sets.

THEORETICAL ECOLOGY

ENTOM/ZOOLOGY 540
