IV. Amphibia sensu lato-11. Batrachofauna and Herpetofauna of Kharkiv Oblast: An Overview
An excerpt from a field practice manual for vertebrate zoology (with minor modifications). The section concerning reptiles was written primarily by O.I. Zinenko, and the section concerning amphibians primarily by …
IV. Amphibia sensu lato-12. Batrachofauna of Kharkiv Oblast and the Vicinity of the Biological Station (Excluding Green Frogs)
An overview of the amphibians of Kharkiv Oblast (excluding green frogs, which are covered on a separate page)
IV. Amphibia sensu lato-13. Batrachofauna of Kharkiv Oblast: Pelophylax esculentus complex — Hybridogenic complex of green frogs
Review of representatives of the hybridogenic Pelophylax esculentus complex in the Kharkiv region (and, in general, in the Seversky Donets center of green frog diversity)
Creation of Worlds — 01. Introduction to the Simulation Modelling Course
The first chapter of the textbook «Creation of Worlds»: simulation modelling of supra-organismal systems in spreadsheets and R.
Creation of Worlds — 03. Model Refinement: Simulation of Logistic Growth
At this stage, the model developed in the previous step should be refined. This will allow mastering new modelling techniques, including the IF, ROUND, RAND functions and several others.
Creation of Worlds — Appendices. Worksheet Functions in LO Calc
A set of formulas that can be used when building models in LO Calc
Creation of Worlds — 04. Incorporating Demographic Structure: "The Three-Generation Model"
Construction of a simulation model of a population of gonochoric organisms with three coexisting generations. The "Table with Header" template; the "recommended" (in this course) notation style for population-ecological models. …
Creation of Worlds — 05. Various Methods of Simulating Population Growth Constraints
Several additional reworked versions of models constructed in previous classes. In the description of the models, a transition to the combined method of recording formulas LO Calc is implemented. Primary …
Creation of Worlds — 07. Parameter Selection and Solution Search
Spreadsheets provide a useful capability: they allow for the approximation of relationships describing empirical data, as well as, in the case of MS Excel, – finding the best solutions for …
Creation of Worlds — 09. Models Based on Cellular Automata
Discussion of a fundamentally different, than in the previous chapters, class of models – cellular automata. The best example of such models is the widely known game «Life» by John …
EcoLectures#02_Biosystems and Their Regulation
