Introduction to Microbiome Analysis

Technical
EN
This workshop will give an overview of the theory and practice of using metabarcoding approaches to study the diversity of microbial communities. The workshop will give participants an understanding of 1) the current methods for microbiome diversity quantification using metabarcoding/amplicon sequencing approaches and 2) the normalization and diversity analysis approaches that can be used to quantify the diversity of microbial communities.

Introduction to Generalized Additive Models (GAMs)

Technical
EN
To address the increase in both quantity and complexity of available data, ecologists require flexible, robust statistical models, as well as software to perform such analyses. This workshop will focus on how a single tool, the R mgcv package, can be used to fit Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) to data from a wide range of sources.

Generalized Linear Models for Community Ecology

Technical
EN
In this workshop we will explore, discuss, and apply generalized linear models to combine information on species distributions, traits, phylogenies, environmental and landscape variation. We will also discuss inference under spatial and phylogenetic autocorrelation under fixed and random effects implementations. We will discuss technical elements and cover implementations using R.
