Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In the course 'Modelling ecological systems' the students will be introduced to standard modelling techniques and how they are applied to challenges in population, interaction and community ecology. We will study process-oriented, as well as descriptive-statistical models.
The main topics will be 'growth', 'interactions', 'patterns and self-organisation' and 'networks'.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

written exam

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The students will be introduced to basic modelling techniques as used in ecology and related fields. The presented techniques are studied on the basis of specific ecological problems. Different approaches for a standing question are illustrated. We will be studying process-oriented models (deterministic, stochastic, discrete, continous and space-explicit), as well as statistic-descriptive models (networks, regression-based).
