The production and use of biodiversity data
Project Description
Biodiversity science research relies on large databases and sophisticated analyses. The research steps from study design to statistical analyses pose significant challenges. We therefore propose the creation of a research group to support research at the stages of experimental design, sampling planning, data validation and management, and the development of analysis strategies. The group will be based in the Department of Biological Sciences at UQAM and will bring together six professors with broad and solid expertise in biodiversity science. It will offer consultation for QCBS members, training workshops, and the organization of a support group allowing student members to meet to help each other and discuss the challenges posed by their research projects. This group will thus complement the QCBS workshops and courses on statistical methods.
