Course objectives
Selected Issues in Botany is a course offered by external lecturers who talk about their research. There are different lecturers in every semester. Rather than a comprehensive coverage of some subject, the purpose of this course is defining scientific problems in a focused topic, discussion on methods applied to solve these problems, and presentation of results of particular projects.
Syllabus
  • Sampling spatial patterns of biodiversity for ecology and conservation biology
  • 1. Spatial patterns in sampling biodiversity (species-area curves, spatial components of species area curves)
  • 2. Sampling scales and sampling effort: the rarefaction techniques
  • 3. Spatially Constrained Rarefaction: incorporating the autocorrelated structure of biological communities into sample-based rarefaction
  • 4. Rarefaction techniques and Additive Partitioning of species diversity: new tools for biodiversity assessment and monitoring.
