[KOHTAKE]
Things in the world are caused by the relationship and interaction of various elements. Therefore, in order to understand the various issues occurring in the world, solve them, and create something of value, it is important to acquire "systems thinking," which is thinking that takes a bird's-eye view of things and captures them in detail, and "design thinking," which is thinking to create new value with diverse perspectives. This lecture will provide an opportunity for students to learn and experience these essentials. To this end, it is important for students to experience dialogue and action among themselves, and the lecture will be conducted in a combination of classroom lectures, individual work, and group work.
[SHITARA]
It is a fundamental and important issue of biogeography to investigate the organism’s distributions and to elucidate how and/or why they formed the current distribution pattern and how they are related to the environmental conditions. Ecological niche models (also called Species Distribution Models or Habitat Suitability Models) are one of the famous methods to analyze the spatial distribution of wildlife by statistically relating distribution information of organisms with environmental information and have been actively used as an effective analysis method in biogeography in recent years. In this lecture, you will learn how to use ecological niche models. You will discuss applications to biogeography, macroecology, conservation, etc., with practical, real-world examples.
