Contents:

.The “Intensive Course Landscape Ecology” is a compulsory module for the M.Sc. Program Landscape Ecology. In this course, students learn and practice how to independently conduct an ecological study. This ranges from formulating a research question over designing studies and experiments, collecting and analysing data, interpreting and critically assessing results, to presenting a study both orally and in writing. In the first part of this course, all students jointly conduct research into fundamental demographic processes and learn about advanced methods of statistical data analysis (notably mixed-effects models). The second part consists of individual research projects that the students design and conduct in small groups. The third part takes a deeper look into study design, scientific writing and presentation techniques.
