Ecological Dynamics Department's Projects
Unsustainable hunting and habitat loss have led to widespread mammal population declines in Southeast Asia, and evidence-based conservation is needed to prevent further declines.
"An efficient and robust laboratory workflow and tetrapod database for larger scale environmental DNA studies"
"Slow recovery from a disease epidemic in the spotted hyena, a keystone social carnivore"
"Occupancy models reveal potential of conservation prioritization for Central American jaguars"
Data and code for "Meta- and subpopulation estimation with disparate data: coconut crabs in the Western Indian Ocean.", Caro et al., Animal Conservation (2023)
R package to simplify workflows of D6 research projects. The package provides utilities to set up a standardized folder structure and version control, and Rmarkdown templates and rendering functionality for a reproducible workflow.
Golden Lab Guidelines for Studies in the Department of Ecological Dynamics of the IZW
R package that provides a fast and friendly way to plot data in the ATLAS experimental area in the Uckermark, Brandenburg.
R package that provides spatial data and template maps for Berlin. The data sets include green spaces, water bodies, district borders, raleways and more. A template map of imperviousness across Berlin with carefully chosen and aesthetically pleasing default is included to serve as a base map to visualize spatial data.
R package to maintain geodata of D6 research projects. The package provides functions to get, manage and plot geodata
R package that is designed to extract the rawdata of a project, create meta data and save it in a standardised way to use it in future projects. Intended for internal use only.
