MSc. Biodiversität und MSc. Umweltwissenschaften: Wichtige Informationen zum Modul „Evolutionsökologie” in Ihrem MSc.:
In diesem Modul werden im kommenden WiSe wichtige Themen der Ökologie mit besonderem Blickwinkel der Theoretischen Ökologie bearbeitet. Die Vorlesung wird klassische mathematische Modelle zu Populationsentwicklungen, Konkurrenz, Räuber-Beute-Interaktionen, sowie Nahrungsnetzen und ggf. deterministischem Chaos behandeln. Die Vorlesung ist direkt gekoppelt an ein "praktisches Seminar", daher von 8:15-12:00, in welchen die behandelten theoretischen Inhalte direkt in einer Programmiersprache, z.B. R implementiert und vertieft werden. Im Praktikum erhalten Sie die Möglichkeit, einfache mathematische Modellierungstechniken zu erlernen. Hierzu werden auf Rechnern numerische Analysen durchgeführt. Daher sollten ein eigenes Notebook auf dem R und R.Studio installiert ist, zu der Vorlesung und dem assozierten praktischen Seminar mitbringen. Im Moment ist beides jeweils Dienstag von 8:15- 12:00 geplant, mit einem eng verlinkten Mix aus Vorlesung und praktischen Computerübungen. Allerdings muss ich das vermutlich aufgrund der aktuellen Situation etwas anpassen!
MSc. Biodiversity, Ecology & Evolution: If you sign up for the course here in HIS, you will receive information via email and a registration key for the Moodle link below. You can register in Moodle then and have access to some pre-prepared videos! Or if our presence lectures/exercises will fail, to online lecture via BigBlueButton. To receive the registration key email, you need to register here at HIS.
In this module, we will work on important ecological topics with a special focus on theoretical ecology in the winter term. The lecture will deal with classical mathematical models of population development, competition, predator-prey interactions, as well as food webs and possibly deterministic chaos. The lecture is directly linked to a practical seminar, in which the theoretical contents will be implemented and deepened directly in a programming language, e.g. R. In the practical course, students have the opportunity to learn simple mathematical modeling techniques. For this purpose, numerical analyses are performed on computers. Therefore, you should bring your own notebook with you to the lecture and the associated practical seminar.
Currently, both is planned on Tuesday 8:15-12:00, i.e. with a mix of lectures and practical exercises - BUT - due to the current situation, and probably more people in the course than allowed in rooms, I might have to adapt our teaching-system a bit:
I am planing at least partly a "Flipped Classroom", which means that you have to watch my pre-recorded lectures on video links, BUT then will come into the course for discussions, and the R-coding of the task, we've been dealing with during the lectures. More information will be given soon, or on our first lecture!
