How vulnerable are cetaceans to climate change? Developing and testing a new index

Por Andreia Sousa (CCIAM - Research Group, cE3c).

Climate change is altering the chemical, physical and biological processes in the marine environment. Observed impacts driven by climate have been recorded and include changes in the geographical distribution, timing of seasonal migrations, breeding biology and behaviour of species. A number of qualitative and quantitative methodologies have been developed over the years to assess the vulnerability of species to climate change.

Introduction to GAM and GAMM with R: Frequentist approaches

The course starts with a revision of multiple linear regression, followed by a basic introduction to generalised additive models (GAM) to analyse continuous data, count data and binary/proportional data.

In the second part of the course generalised additive mixed effects models (GAMM) are introduced to analyse nested data.

During the course several case studies are presented, in which the statistical theory is integrated with applied analyses in a clear and understandable manner.
