Introduction

What knowledge will I acquire with this Master?

The proposal of the University Master's Degree in Techniques for the Characterization and Conservation of Biological Diversity is fundamentally aimed at providing tools and techniques necessary for the development of research and professional activities in the field of Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation.

Regarding the contents, it has 4 modules: a module of METHODOLOGICAL BASES (scientific writing, field sampling, experimental design, modeling, spatial analysis), another second of BIODIVERSITY (of aquatic invertebrates, lichens, bryophytes, birds and other taxonomic groups, which It also includes a subject on Phylogeny and Systematics), a third module on ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES (community assembly, plant-animal interactions, micro-macro evolution, biology of global change, genetic restitution of populations, ecotoxicology), and a fourth module to train students for work in COMPANIES (ecosystem restoration, entrepreneurship, ecosystem economics).

goals

The Master in Biodiversity and Ecology Conservation Techniques aims to provide the student with methodologies and tools necessary for the development of research and professional activity in the field of characterization and conservation of Biodiversity and Ecology. These methodologies are grouped into several categories: general methodologies for scientific and technical report writing, sampling and monitoring systems, and advanced experimental design; methodologies for statistical and mathematical analysis of data, in particular for spatial analysis and modeling; molecular biology and genetics techniques applied to conservation; methods of analysis and development of models in populations and communities; methodologies and tools for the characterization of environmental quality and the determination and mitigation of stress on individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems; scientific knowledge on natural capital and ecosystem services; bases of ecological restoration; and introduction to business entrepreneurship. In this way, the student is provided with a postgraduate academic specialization of excellent scientific and technical quality that allows him or her to stand out in the professional field of Ecology and the conservation of Biodiversity.
