Students who have taken undergraduate courses in biogeography and/or conservation biology are familiar with the foundational theories and landmark cases. However, they may not always grasp the broader context in which these ideas exist. This course is designed to encourage students to delve deeply into research papers, seeking comprehensive knowledge in biogeography and biological conservation.

Through weekly journal club-style discussions led by the instructor, guest speakers, or peers, students will enhance their specialised knowledge in biogeography. These sessions will also help students develop the critical skills needed to read and analyse research papers, including classic studies.

This year's course will be notably different from previous years. To further engage participants and maximise the value of their time and effort, we will not only focus on discussing papers but also collaborate on writing a review paper on selected biogeography or conservation issues, with the goal of publishing our work. The keywords for this year is ‘relict speciesʼ.

Prior knowledge in biogeography, ecology, and/or evolutionary biology is highly recommended but not required for taking this course.

Please note this is an EMI course. All participants are anticipated to actively express their thoughts with spoken and written English.

本課程主要目的為培養學生使用多變量分析方法來解決地理問題的能力，課程以實際個案為腳本，解釋如何應用適當的多變量分析方法來建立模式和解決問題，並培養研究生解讀論文中多變量分析報表的能力。本課程注重方法的理解與實務應用，使用統計軟體SPSS、地理資訊系統ArcGIS Pro空間統計分析工具和空間分析軟體Geoda進行實務操作與分析。
