Background

The Quantitative Ecology SIG brings together ecologists who want to learn, apply, teach and/or develop the quantitative methods that underpin modern ecological research. “Quantitative ecology” is necessarily broad and spans the breadth of ecology, encompassing statistics, modelling, programming, machine learning and AI.

By offering events and resources focused on various techniques and approaches, the SIG aims to bring together quantitative experts and novices to promote best practice across ecology.

The SIG hosts a community-contributed set of guides for quantitative methods
