Melanie Colón Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Multivariate analysis of ecological communities in R with the VEGAN package(VGNR01)https://www.prstatistics.com/course/multivariate-analysis-of-ecological-communities-in-r-with-the-vegan-package-vgnr01/Instructors:Dr. Peter Solymos and Dr. Guillaume BlanchetWhen:23rd - 27th April 2018Where:SCENE filed station, Loch Lomond, GlasgowIntended Audience:Research postgraduates, practicing academics and primary investigators inspatial ecology and management and environmental professionals ingovernment and industry.Course Overview:This 5-day course will cover the concepts, methods, and R tools that can beused to analyse community ecology data. The course will review dataprocessing techniques relevant to multivariate data sets. We will coverdiversity and null-model analysis, distance measures and distance basedmultivariate methods, clustering, classification, and dimension reductiontechniques using the vegan R extension package. We will use real world datasets to motivate the analyses, e.g. describing patterns along environmentalor anthropogenic disturbance gradients, quantifying the effects ofcontinuous and discrete predictors, and making predictions based onmultivariate model results. We will emphasize visualization andreproducible workflows. Modules will consist of introductory lectures,guided computer coding, and exercises for the participants. The course isintended for intermediate R users with interest in community ecology,especially in the fields of terrestrial and wetland ecology, microbialecology, and natural resource management.Course syllabus:Monday 23rd – Classes from 08:30 to 16:30Module 1: Introduction to community data analysis, basics of programming inRModule 2: Data processing (long and wide data representations, single andmultiple table operations, data aggregation and transformation)Tuesday 24th – Classes from 08:30 to 16:30Module 3: Diversity analysis, species-abundance distributions, null-modelanalysisModule 4: Distance measures and distance based methods (Mantel test,distance decay, etc.)Wednesday 25th – Classes from 08:30 to 16:30Module 5: Hierarchical and nonhierarchical clustering and classificationModule 6: Dispersion and permutational MANOVAThursday 26th – Classes from 08:30 to 16:30Module 7: Response curves, ordination (correspondence analysis, nonmetricscaling, constrained ordination).Module 8: Fitting environmental variables to ordination, permutation basedtesting of the significance of constraints.Friday 27th – Classes from 08:30 to 16:30Module 9: Indicator species analysis and multivariate calibration.Modules 10: special topics and discussion, analyzing participants’ own data.If you have any questions please feel free to mailoliverhooker@prstatistics.com or visit www.prstatisticas.comUpcoming courses for 2017/2018 belowECOLOGICAL NICHE MODELLING USING R #ENMR16th – 20th October 2017, Scotland, Dr. Neftali Sillerohttp://www.prstatistics.com/course/ecological-niche-modelling-using-r-enmr01/2.
