"Advances in Spatial Analysis of Multivariate Ecological Data: Theory and Practice (MVSP03)" We still have a few places left on the above course please use the link below for full details. http://bit.ly/2DqlIEWMULITVARIATE_ANALYSIS_OF_SPATIAL_DATA This course will be delivered by Pierre Legendre and Guillaume Blanchet from the 7th - 11th May 2018 in Quebec. Course Overview: The course will describe recent methods (concepts and R tools) that can be used to analyse spatial patterns in community ecology. The umbrella concept of the course is beta diversity, which is the spatial variation of communities. These methods are applicable to all types of communities (bacteria, plants, animals) sampled along transects, regular grids or irregularly distributed sites. The new methods, collectively referred to as spatial eigen-function analysis, are grounded into techniques commonly used by 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 for community composition data will also be discussed. The focal question is to determine how much of the community variation (beta diversity) is due to environmental sorting and to community-based processes, including neutral processes. Recently developed methods to partition beta diversity in different ways will be presented. Extensions will be made to temporal and space-time data.
