• ECOL 5050: Techniques Env Data Mgt

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Centers on the role of information technology in support of scientific research. Through integration of multiple software packages (e.g. Relational databases, ProgramR and ArcGIS), proven database designs, and SQL scripting, increased efficiency and utility will occur during data analyses. These information science principles are demonstrated using project-based examples. Cross listed with GEOG/ENR 5050. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

• ECOL 5100: Ecology as a Discipline

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Covers the range of ecological questions, processes, scales, and research approaches, in context of the history and philosophy of science in general and of ecology in particular. Aimed at first-year students in the doctoral program in Ecology, although students in other graduate programs are welcome. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

• ECOL 5200: Hierarchical Model for Ecolog

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Application of hierarchical models to many different types of ecological observations for the purpose of estimating and explaining abundance and occupancy of animals in JAGS and R. Statistical exploration of many common survey designs (point counts, distance sampling, repeated observations of marked animals) that imperfectly record spatial and temporal variation in the abundance and distribution of wild populations. Use of simulated and real-world data sets to draw inference when dealing with missing data, changes in survey protocols, and imperfect detection.

• ECOL 5400: Community Ecology

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Community ecology is the study of interactions within and among groups of species. This course focuses on (1) the major classical concepts and theories in community ecology, (2) the ways in which population dynamics can impact communities and how community dynamics can impact ecosystem processes and functioning, and (3) implementation of quantitative methods for conducting research that includes community ecology. Cross listed with REWM 5400. Prerequisite: LIFE 3410 or equivalent.

• ECOL 5500: Quant Analy of Field Data

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  A practical guide to the analysis of messy field data, including data exploration, generalized linear and additive models, mixed models, autocorrelation, and model selection using Program R. Students will have a bootcamp to learn methods and spend the rest of the semester analyzing their own data. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

• ECOL 5520: Habitat Selection

  2.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  In this course we will cover theory and behavioral/evolutionary concepts related to the process of habitat selection, the contexts under which habitat choices are adaptive or maladaptive, and different types of anthropogenic habitat change and the consequences for animals in the wild.
