Spring 2025 Lecture Laboratory
This course will provide graduate students with the opportunity to learn about the techniques and approaches used for individual-based modeling in ecological studies. Students will find relevant supplementary literature and lead class discussions on those topics as well as chapters from the course textbook and present case study examples of existing individual-based models (IBM) to the class. Students will develop individual-based models based on their own research project(s).
Learning Outcomes1Explore the role that individual-based models (IBMs) can play in ecological research.
2Develop a working knowledge of the nature of IBMs, their strengths, and weaknesses.
3Become familiar with IBM programming concepts and NetLogo software.
4Become able to incorporate individual-based modeling in the student's own research.
