TIGP Biodiversity Program Signature Course: Ecology Masterclass@Taiwan (EMT)

Показать описание

Course running title : Next-generation mentality and knowledge for conservation

The aim of this course is to study the ecology of unique habitats in Taiwan and use modern technology, including NGS and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, to test some ecological hypotheses in these habitats. The students will have both theoretical and hands-on training for the entire experimental pipeline: ecological fundamentals, hypothesis testing, field training, molecular biology for genomics analysis, bioinformatics, data analysis and statistical testing, and scientific manuscript writing.

EMT1 was successfully run last year (2021) and focused on the question of supply-side ecology using Green Island as the main study site. This first iteration was piloted by Biodiversity Research Center (BRC) PIs.
