Multivariate analysis of ecological communities in R with the VEGAN package (VGNR02)
https://www.prstatistics.com/course/multivariate-analysis-of-ecological-communities-in-r-with-the-vegan-package-vgnr02/ This course will be delivered by Dr Guillaume Blanchet one on the main package developers form the 29th April - 3rd May 2019 in Quebec, Canada. Course Overview: This 5-day course will cover the concepts, methods, and R tools that can be used to analyse community ecology data. The course will review data processing techniques relevant to multivariate data sets. We will cover diversity and null-model analysis, distance measures and distance based multivariate methods, clustering, classification, and dimension reduction techniques using the vegan R extension package. We will use real world data sets to motivate the analyses, e.g. describing patterns along environmental or anthropogenic disturbance gradients, quantifying the effects of continuous and discrete predictors, and making predictions based on multivariate model results. We will emphasize visualization and reproducible workflows. Modules will consist of introductory lectures, guided computer coding, and exercises for the participants. The course is intended for intermediate R users with interest in community ecology, especially in the fields of terrestrial and wetland ecology, microbial ecology, and natural resource management. Monday 29th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 1: Introduction to community data analysis, basics of programming in R Module 2: Data processing (long and wide data representations, single and multiple table operations, data aggregation and transformation) Tuesday 30th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 3: Diversity analysis, species-abundance distributions, null-model analysis Module 4: Distance measures and distance based methods (Mantel test, distance decay, etc.) Wednesday 1st – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 5: Hierarchical and nonhierarchical clustering and classification Module 6: Dispersion and permutational MANOVA Thursday 2nd – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 7: Response curves, ordination (correspondence analysis, nonmetric scaling, constrained ordination). Module 8: Fitting environmental variables to ordination, permutation based testing of the significance of constraints. Friday 3rd – Classes from 09:00 to 16:30 Module 9: Indicator species analysis and multivariate calibration. Modules 10: special topics and discussion, analyzing participants’ own data.
