UPCOMING WORKSHOP : 21-26 November 2016 !!!!!
23-27 November 2015, Mallorca, SPAIN
The
course aims to introduce students, researchers and environmental
managers to the theory and practical aspects of the analysis of
capture-mark-recapture and –recovery data to estimate survival,
recruitment and dispersal probabilities. The course is based on theoretical classes as well as practical sessions with real and simulated data.
Dead line for registration: 24 September 2015

Why another Capture-Mark-Recapture course?
How much does it cost and how to pay?

What is this course?
The
course aims to introduce students, researchers and environmental managers to the
theory and practical aspects of the analysis of capture-mark-recapture and –recovery
data to estimate survival, recruitment and dispersal probabilities. The course is
based on theoretical classes as well as practical sessions with real and
simulated data.
Why another Capture-Mark-Recapture course?
The
analysis of individual-based data is rapidly expanding in ecological studies. Statisticians
and population ecologists are working together adapting the analytical framework
to be able to answer increasingly finer ecological questions. We believe there
is a need for an introductory course on capture-mark-recapture techniques aimed
to those students, researchers and environmental managers willing to approach
this constantly evolving field. No previous knowledge on capture-mark-recapture
or capture-mark-recovery analyses is necessary.
Who is organizing this
course?
The
course is organized by the Population Ecology Group of the IMEDEA (http://imedea.uib-csic.es/bc/ecopob/).
Lectures
will be given by Dr. G. Tavecchia, Prof. D. Oro, Dr. M.Genovart and Dr. A.
Sanz, researchers at PEG. Invited researchers sometimes help in teaching as
well as practical classes.
How much does it cost and how to pay?

When and where?
The
course will be held in Esporles (Mallorca, Spain)
at
the IMEDEA (CSIC – UIB, http://www.imedea.uib.es/)
from
the 23rd to the 28th of November 2014.
The
closest (and only) airport on Mallorca island is outside the city of Palma.
There are several companies offering low-cost flights to Mallorca from nearly
every European capital.
Esporles
is a village at c. 14 km North of Palma city. There are regular buses between Palma
and Esporles (c. 35min journey, about 3 € return). You can easily find an accommodation
in Palma, stay in one of the three hotels in Esporles or even rent a small flat.
We will send you more detailed information if you decide to come. Consider that
the course will begin at 14h30 on Monday and will end at 14h30 on Friday so
that you might be able to fly during working days.
What do I need?
