Spatial ecology examines how spatial variation in the distribution of organisms, resources, and environmental conditions influences ecological processes and patterns at multiple scales. This course introduces students to the theoretical foundations and methodology of spatial ecology, including landscape connectivity, resource distributions, species’ distributions, and the spatial dimensions of global change. Students gain hands-on experience analyzing and interpreting spatial data to address real-world ecological questions. Prior experience with R and GIS is recommended. (Limited enrolment, DGD is mandatory).
