In week 5 of the course, we are going from communities to META communities and applying meta-community ecology to active restoration!
This week’s checklist:
[ ] Read Chase et al. 2020 - Biodiversity conservation through the lens of metacommunity ecology - it is in the files on the Teams site
[ ]Turn in the theory assignment for the week
[ ]Start to read the synopsis of the IPBES/IPCC joint report for Week 7 of the course
[ ]Start to read the summary for policy makers of the IPBES Report

The theory lecture can be found here but will also be given live on Monday!
You can also find the explanation for this week’s modeling components here.
BY WEDNESDAY Read Chase et al. 2020 Biodiversity conservation through the lens of metacommunity ecology
BY THE END OF THE WEEK - Complete the modeling assignment on meta-communities which you can find on the Blackboard, in Teams, or in your email! It should be turned in via Teams.
6.2 Day 14 - 25.5.2022 - Application
