7All day 05/07/2023 DATES: June 5 – August 27, 2023 Generalized linear models are widely used throughout ecology and wildlife management, as they allow us to analyze a wide variety of data, including counts, proportions, and continuous measurements such as length and weight. Being able to fit and interpret these models in R is a basic requirement for modern quantitative ecology. We cover Poisson and binomial models in detail, and extensions of these when the data are overdispersed and/or zero-inflated. We discuss model-checking and residual diagnostics, to see how well our model fits the data, and model comparison using AIC in order to see which terms should be included. Repeated measurements data, in which the response variable is measured at several points in time, are also considered in detail. We explain the distinction between fixed and random effects and show how to fit models that involve random effects. We make extensive use of R throughout the course.
(1) Instructor support. Reach out to your instructor over a 1-month period to get help as you work through prerecorded lectures, problem sets, and your own personal work. You then have access to the course for an additional 2 months. Instructor support includes emailing your instructor, accessing live discussion threads, and scheduling one-on-one appointments (Zoom or phone) about course material, your research, datasets from work, etc. You MUST select this option if you want to take the course for academic credit at your home institution or you would like to work with an instructor on a dataset from school or work.
(2) No instructor support (3 months of access to course materials) Early bird course fee (ends May 7): $350 professional / $250 student Regular course fee (after May 7): $400 professional / $300 student
| 8All day 05/08/2023 Dates: Begins June 5, 2023 This course builds on and extends the scope of the questions, data types, and analytical methods covered in the Introduction to Capture-Mark-Recapture course. In particular, we will go into depth on spatially-explicit methods, including mark-recapture and mark-resight models, their underlying assumptions, and more advanced applications such as explaining variation in density patterns and developing long-term monitoring programs.
You have two options when enrolling in this course:

| 23All day 05/23/2023 Tuesday, May 23 @ 3:30 pm (MST) (Tucson, AZ time zone) This course is designed as an introduction to alternative field-based research methodologies that have application to studying changes in ecological systems and addressing critical environmental issues such as biodiversity decline, habitat loss and effects from climate change. The ABPE protocols also have application to environmental education curriculum, connecting folks with nature. This course is taught by Dr. Lee Ann Woolery, Founder & Research Director at Citizen Artist.
| 24 11:30 AM-12:30 PM 05/24/2023 The webinar is scheduled for live viewing on May 24, 2023 at 11:30am ET. The Zoom Webinar platform will be used for the presentation. Be sure to connect to the webinar using a device approved to access Zoom. The webinar is accessible within the Contents tab (to the right of the Overview information). This webinar will be archived for future viewing through May 24, 2024 at 11:55 pm ET unless notified otherwise.
| 25 3:00 PM-4:00 PM 05/25/2023 Hosted By: Rangeland Wildlife Working Group
Date: May 25, 3:00 pm Since 1970, we have lost about half of the birds in North America’s grasslands, which make up about a third of the habitats on the continent. In this webinar, presenters will discuss how simple changes in grazing policy can change the downward spiral of grassland bird populations while helping producers and safeguarding other important ecosystem services.
