An examination of invertebrate community indices for aquatic resource monitoring. Participants are exposed to concepts from conservation biology, community ecology, and the physical sciences, integrating these concepts into class exercises. Advanced concepts in landscape ecology and large scale analyses are used. Exercises are designed to simulate aquatic issue analyses performed during watershed analysis.
Target audience is journey-level fish biologists and aquatic ecologists.
Participants should also have a current understanding of basic statistics, as no basic statistics will be taught at the workshop. So if you haven't done statistics in ages, we suggest you brush up on it before arriving. You will be glad you did as you won't waste time relearning statistics when you came to learn more advanced concepts. There is alot of work involved in this workshop. This is an interactive, participant dependent process.
