Spatial Statistics - Data Collection I: About the Lecturer

Ecologists become more and more aware of the importance of space and scale in ecology. Thus, there are several methods to analyze spatial patterns. Here, we focus on spatial point pattern analysis. The methods include summary functions, Monte-Carlo simulations of null models and point process models. We provide videos on basic concepts of spatial point pattern analysis. Invited international guests present research studies applying point pattern analysis. Additionally, we also conducted interviews with the guests about their scientific career and working conditions in general. Overview 🎓 Methods to sample point pattern data presented by Dr. K.A. Moloney 🎓 Spatial point pattern analysis study about spatial and temporal gopher mound production presented by Dr. K.A. Moloney 🎓 Spatial point pattern analysis study about complex seed-disperser networks presented by Dr. J. Fedriani 🎓 Statistical background of spatial point pattern analysis presented by Dr. T. Wiegand The videos are also part of this eLearning module 📖 https://oiws3.e-learning.uni-goetting... which contains additional tutorials about how to redo the presented analyses.
