Ecology: The Biology of Interactions. Appendix VII. Semi-finished Components for Building R Models
The idea behind this page is simple: to collect fragments of R scripts that may be useful when creating new models. What should these fragments be called? Examples? Samples? Templates? "Blanks"? Recipes? Let them be called "semi-finished components", semifinished. The …
EcoLectures#06_Population Growth Models
{ "title": "", "summary": "", "body": "Discussion of population growth models provides an opportunity to understand both the threat of a Malthusian catastrophe and descriptions of species strategies, and even the basics of classification of relationships between populations BATRIMG<N>BATR" }
Ecology: The Biology of Interactions. VII-02. Introduction to R Properties Through Simple Examples
This section discusses the use of the R Markdown text markup language and the code chunks (code inserts) it provides for describing work with R. Basic information is then presented on vectors in R, their creation and indexing, the use …
Ecology: Biology of Interaction. VII-01. First Steps in Using RStudio
Since 2024, the authors have been adding to the ecology course explanations of the use of simulation modelling for better mastery of course materials. This page presents an introductory description of the features of the R language and a beginner-oriented …
Ecology: The Biology of Interactions. I-09. Modelling as Cognition — of Biosystems and Everything Else
A simulation model can be regarded as a set of computed quantities and rules for recomputing them. Naturally, when building a model, one should provide an "input" (a description of the initial state of the modelled system, input parameters and …
Biology. Introduction to the specialty – 05. Diversity of activities in the field of biology
People are diverse, and there is reason to claim that different individuals are inclined toward different types of activities. This page is intended for students who have already chosen their specialty: biology or teaching biology. Is there a place in …
Biology. Introduction to the specialty. Task II: Review of a scientific article
The time has come to take the next step in the development of the ability to create professional biological texts. It is not enough to merely write a text in an academic or scientific style; it is not enough to …
Biology. Introduction to the Profession. Task I: text with different types of citations
Any specialist, including a biologist, must be able to create professional texts. This task will allow you to learn to do this.
Biology. Introduction to the Profession – 04. How to Create a Scientific Text with Integrity?
To act with integrity, one must understand what dishonesty can look like. Remember that maintaining integrity requires constant effort, continuous attention to what we do and why!
Biology. Introduction to the Specialty – 03. “A Person Is a Style”
Before turning to the practical use of a particular style of citation and referencing, it is worth understanding how different styles of modeling reality and texts differ. “A person is a style,” said Buffon. Why?
Biology. Introduction to the Specialty – 02. What Determines What Students Should Do and How?
Students learn which courses they study from the timetable. How is the set of courses they study determined? How should classes be organized? What may a teacher require from a student, and what may they not?
Biology. Introduction to the Specialty – 01. What Is Karazin University?
A university is an association of teachers and students. What place does Karazin University occupy among other universities? What is it made up of? What are students like? What are teachers like? How should students interact with teachers properly?
Haidary. March 24, 2023
Since the madness of the war’s escalation following Muscovy’s attack on most of Ukraine in February 2022, I had not gone on a single field trip for work. So I decided to return to normal work. At the end of …
Biology. Introduction to the Specialty. Some Useful Links
This page collects links that may be useful for the course “Biology. Introduction to the Specialty” for first-year students
SexOnR–05_HermaphroditeSex. Simulating Sex. Beginning with Hermaphrodites
The first model grows more complex. Sex is introduced into it — initially among hermaphrodites
SexOnR–01_Keywords. Key Concepts of the Course: Explanations and References (Introduction)
Throughout this course we plan to explore curious phenomena through simulation modelling. First of all, it is necessary to clarify what and how we will be studying.
Sustainable Use of Fisheries Resources. Variant IIa. Simulation Model in Google Sheets
The same things can be explained in different ways. This page presents a simulation model built in Google Sheets; working with it introduces the problem of sustaining fish stocks. Another way to explain the same topic is available here.
Ecology: Biology of Interactions. III-09. Trends in Successions
In a typical succession sequence (e.g., in an artificial microcosm or during colonization of a new habitat in primary autotrophic succession), fast-growing species dominate first, then are replaced by slower but more competitive species.
Ecology: Biology of Interactions. II-10. (Supplement) Evolution of the Universe, the Solar System, and Earth
All known history of the Universe is a history of expansion. In the course of that expansion, elementary particles, hydrogen atoms, and stars formed by gravity appeared within it.
