Syllabus:

An introduction to systematic methods of collection, analysis and reporting of field and laboratory ecological data, and basic experimental design in ecology, marine biology and wildlife conservation. Lectures outline the quantitative nature of ecological research and the value of robust experimental methods. Some knowledge of basic statistics is required. Experimental design will be emphasised, and the elements of statistical tests, particularly linear modelling, will be considered in a variety of ecological contexts. Practical work involves use of computers and software, and will complement methods introduced in lectures. Workshops will be used to collect field-type ecological data and provide specialised expertise in data analysis applications to the fields of ecology, marine biology and wildlife conservation .
