LU23_地理系

生物地理學主要是探討動、植物的分佈及與其環境間的關係，包括生物分佈的歷史變遷、人類的影響。本課程希望與同學探討的課題除了與生物地理學相關的傳統生態學觀念外，也加入巨觀生態學(macroecology)和親緣生物地理學(phylogeography)等研究觀點。修習的學生能從本課程獲得生物地理學研究領域所需具備的基本知識與研究技術。

This is an interdisciplinary course that primarily explores the interrelationships among the Earth's environment, ecosystems, and human beings. It extends to address environmental issues and seeks pathways to achieve balance. Environmental issues, regardless of their scale, constantly impact the lives of every individual and every living organism on Earth. Learning ecology/environmental science is essential for students as it aids in understanding and addressing ecological environmental issues. Ultimately, it empowers students to apply their knowledge, identify fundamental solutions, and strive towards a balanced coexistence. The first half of the course will focus on teaching the basic principles of ecology, while the second half will revolve around reviewing environmental and sustainability case studies.

As the advanced-level statistical course, this course will focus on spatial statistics and multivariate analysis methods. Several statistical software including SPSS, ArcGIS Pro (spatial statistics), and Geoda will be used.
