Quantitative ecology associate lecturer

University of the Western Cape

Aug 2019 – Present South Africa
Lecturing statistical/software competence: the management and analysis of ecological data; reproducible and collaborative research; the use of R as a tool for the analysis multivariate ecological data; multivariate techniques such as nMDS, PCA, RDA and cluster analysis; graphical data summaries and visualisations.
 
 
 
 
 

Biostatistics associate lecturer

University of the Western Cape

Jan 2019 – Present South Africa
This course is a compulsory module to all Honours students. The main aims of this course is to explain the concepts of alpha, beta and gamma diversity as well as providing the necessary skills allowing students to collect ecological data at the appropriate scale, which would ultimately lend themselves to a quantitative analysis.

2 - Clustering and plotting

Welcome back! I hope that the first blog was useful for its scientific insight and adding to your coding and plotting skills. The intention of this blogs is to show the approach and R scripts used to analyse the possible reasons for temperature variation between sites within the same cluster along the coast of South Africa and the controlling influences of temperatures within coastal zones.
