Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In the 'Practical course in Modelling ecological systems' the students will be designing and simulating models concerning standard challenges in population, interaction and community ecology. It is conceived as a hands-on course in parallel with the lecture 300315 "Modelling ecological systems'. Topics that have been presented there will be recapitulated and deepened. We will address deterministic, stochastic and space-explicit approaches. The main themes will be 'growth', 'interactions', 'patterns and self-organisation' and 'networks'.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

homework, student's involvment, presence

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The students will use basic modelling techniques as found in ecology and related fields. The presented techniques are studied on the basis of specific ecological problems. In a hands-on fashion the students will design and simulate models, an overview of state-of-the art approaches in modelization of systems will be acquired.
We will be studying process-oriented models (deterministic, stochastic, discrete, continous and space-explicit), as well as statistic-descriptive models (networks, regression-based).

Prüfungsstoff

practical course using computers, problem-oriented, discussion and presentation of different approaches for problem solution
