Melanie Colón Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Advances in Spatial Analysis of Multivariate Ecological Data: Theory andPracticeDelivered by Prof. Pierre Legendrehttps://www.prstatistics.com/course/advances-in-spatial-analysis-of-multivariate-ecological-data-theory-and-practice-mvsp03/This course will run from 7th - 11th May 2018 at Orford Musique, 3165Chemin du Parc, Orford, QC J1X 7A2, CanadaCourse Overview:The course will describe recent methods (concepts and R tools) that can beused to analyse spatial patterns in community ecology. The umbrella conceptof the course is beta diversity, which is the spatial variation ofcommunities. These methods are applicable to all types of communities(bacteria, plants, animals) sampled along transects, regular grids orirregularly distributed sites. The new methods, collectively referred to asspatial eigen-function analysis, are grounded into techniques commonly usedby community ecologists, which will be described first: simple ordination(PCA, CA, PCoA), multivariate regression and canonical analysis,permutation tests. The choice of dissimilarities that are appropriate forcommunity composition data will also be discussed. The focal question is todetermine how much of the community variation (beta diversity) is due toenvironmental sorting and to community-based processes, including neutralprocesses. Recently developed methods to partition beta diversity indifferent ways will be presented. Extensions will be made to temporal andspace-time data.Course content is as followsMonday 7th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00Introduction to data analysis.Ordination in reduced space: principal component analysis (PCA),correspondence analysis (CA), principal coordinate analysis (PCoA).Transformation of species abundance data tables prior to linear analyses.Tuesday 8th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00Measures of similarity and distance, especially for community compositiondata.Multiple linear regression. R-square, adjusted R-square, AIC, tests ofsignificance.Polynomial regression.Partial regression and variation partitioning.Wednesday 9th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00Statistical testing by permutation.Canonical redundancy analysis (RDA) and canonical correspondence analysis(CCA). Multivariate analysis of variance by canonical analysis.Forward selection of environmental variables in RDA.Thursday 10th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00Origin of spatial structures.Beta diversity partitioning and LCBD indicesReplacement and richness difference components of beta diversity.Friday 11th – Classes from 09:00 to 16:00Spatial modelling: Multi-scale modelling of the spatial structure ofecological communities: dbMEM, generalized MEM, and AEM methods.Community surveys through space and time: testing the space-timeinteraction in repeated surveys.Additional module depending on time – Is the Mantel test useful for spatialanalysis in ecology and genetics?Please email any inquiries to oliverhooker@prstatistics.com or visit ourwebsite www.prstatistics.comPlease feel free to distribute this material anywhere you feel is suitablePRstatistics upcoming courses - email for detailsoliverhooker@prstatistics.com for details1.
