Course context for academic year 2010-11

La grave crisis ambiental que estamos enfrentando desde hace decadas debido al incremento de las necesidad des humanas, amenaza a la biodiversidad, entendida como la variedad de los seres vivos que nos ha brindado el proceso evolutivo a lo largo de milenios. Esto ha generado nuevas ciencias emergentes y multidiciplinarias como el caso de la biología de la conservación. En esta asignatura se pretende impartir los principios y métodos estadísticos incorporando la conservación biológica como campo principal de investigación. Reflexionando inicialmente el proceso de el diseño de los experimentos u observaciones que ayuden a una mejor aplicación de la estadísticas en las preguntas científicas de esta diciplina
