Population dynamics
- This workshop deals with the analysis and modelling of population dynamics.
- Quantifying population dynamics is crucial for the conservation and management of animal and plant species.
- We hope to have given you some tools to start working on your own.
What we covered (1/3)
- Abundance and density
- Counting methods
- Detectability issue
- Capture-recapture, distance sampling and N-mixture
What we covered (2/3)
- Demographic parameters
- Capture-recapture data
- Survival
- Covariates
- Transitions
What we covered (3/3)
- Population projection models
- Count-based PVA
- Age- and stage-structured models
- Sensitivity analyses
Take-home messages and recommendations
- We'll wrap up the workshop with a few take-home messages
- And recommendations for conducting your own analyses.
The art of modelling
- Before we leave, we'd like to give you a few pieces of advice.
- This is not rocket science.
- Just a few things based on our own experience.
The art of modelling
- Make your ecological question explicit.
- Before we leave, we'd like to give you a few pieces of advice.
- This is not rocket science.
- Just a few things based on our own experience.
- First things first. Make sure you've spent some to time to make your ecological question explicit.
- This step will help you to stay on course, and make the right choices.
- For example, it's ok to use subsets of your data to address different questions.

- Now in terms of modeling. Don't jump on your keyboard right away.
- Spend some time thinking about your model with pen and paper.

- When it comes to model fitting, start simple.
- Consider all parameters constant.
- Make sure everything runs smoothly.

- Then add complexity. Time effect for example. Or random effects.
- Or uncertainty in the assignment of states.
