This applied R training introduces network analysis methods used to study
ecological interactions such as food webs, species co-occurrence, movement
networks, host?parasite systems, and social or behavioural networks.
Participants learn practical workflows for constructing, analysing, and
interpreting ecological networks using real datasets.

The course covers:

   -

   Concepts and terminology in ecological network analysis
   -

   Building and visualising ecological networks
   -

   Network metrics and interpretation
   -

   Community detection and modularity
   -

   Statistical approaches to testing ecological network hypotheses
   -

   Reproducible workflows in R
