Ecological Sampling and Analyses to Understand Communities - Part 1

Explore ecological sampling techniques and analytical methods for understanding communities in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the fundamentals of disease ecology, focusing on how ecological and environmental processes influence disease distribution, prevalence, and dynamics in animal populations. Learn about the integration of theories from various scientific disciplines, including ecology, evolution, and mathematics, to gain insights into disease emergence, spread, and ecosystem impact. Discover the importance of biodiversity changes in altering natural pathogen transmission cycles and their link to human health and well-being. Gain valuable tools to address real-world challenges in disease ecology, including the role of sequencing techniques and data analyses in managing disease outbreaks. Benefit from research seminars by faculty working in India and internationally to understand ongoing work in the field.
