Rwy’n ecolegydd cyfrifiadurol sy’n canolbwyntio ar ddatblygiad theori ecolegol ac ar ddadansoddi setiau data mawr er mwyn cael gwell dealltwriaeth o gynulliadau cymunedol a phatrymau ecolegol gwasgariadau rhywogaethau a sut maen nhw’n rhyngweithio mewn cymunedau naturiol cymhleth.

Mae ffocws fy mhrif ddiddordeb ymchwil ar y mecanweithiau sy’n sail i’r cymhlethdod a welir mewn rhwydweithiau ecolegol a datblygiad modelau damcaniaethol o ddeinameg cymunedau a rhwydweithiau er mwyn deall yn well y mecanweithiau hyn a’r patrymau sy’n datblygu yn eu sgil.

Meysydd Arbenigedd

Rhwydweithiau Ecolegol
Ecoleg Gymunedol
Theori Gweoedd Bwyd
Biodaearyddiaeth Rhwydweithiau
Microbïomau
Ecoleg Ddamcaniaethol

Uchafbwyntiau Gyrfa

Diddordebau Addysgu

Addysgu Theori Ecolegol yw un o’m hoff weithgareddau. Yn enwedig canolbwyntio ar rwydweithiau rhyngweithio ecolegol.

Ewch i’r ddolen os oes gennych chi ddiddordeb mewn dysgu am gysyniadau ecolegol gwahanol:

https://padlet.com/miguel_lurgi/me9sk6j2firo

Rydw i wedi cynhyrchu’r tiwtorial byr hwn hefyd ar y ffordd y dylid mynd ati i ymdrin â rhwydweithiau ecolegol a’u dadansoddi:

https://mlurgi.github.io/networks_for_r/

Credaf mai’r ffordd orau o ddysgu yw drwy gymryd rhan mewn gwyddoniaeth a’i thrafod yn llawn brwdfrydedd. Felly cofiwch gysylltu neu alw heibio’r swyddfa os oes gennych chi unrhyw gwestiynau neu bynciau diddorol am unrhyw beth dan haul fwy neu lai.

Y pynciau sydd o ddiddordeb i mi ar hyn o bryd yw: systemau cymhleth – athroniaeth gwyddoniaeth – arsylwadau ar adar prin – cilfach Hutchinson – ecoleg ddaearyddol.

BIO252 Ecological Data Analysis

This module introduces students to the basics of analyzing ecological data, using the R Software Environment for Statistical Computing. The topics covered will be also broad enough to be equally applicable to basic data analysis across biology and the skills acquired are widely transferrable for non-academic jobs. Students will receive 8 computer-based workshops/practicals of 2 hours each, complemented by 10 lectures and 11 Stats exercise and Feedback sessions before each workshop. The module will cover 5 broad key themes: 1). Data analysis and statistics, reproducibility and the R Software Environment; 2). Data management; 3). Data visualization; 4). Data analysis - The linear model; 5). Data analysis - Presentation of results and outline of more advanced methods. The module will be subject to continuous assessment consisting of 3 pieces of computer-based work (60% of final mark), which will require the students to carefully complete all course work assigned on a weekly basis ('independent learning'), in order to be able to complete the assignments. A further 40% of the final mark will consist in a data analysis report, to be completed after the end of the course. Weekly readings and non-assessed computer-based exercises will be assigned, too.
BIO261 Population and Community Ecology

This module will introduce students to concepts and basic analytical tools to understand and predict the growth or decline of animal, plant and other populations for: individual species; interacting, multispecies (e.g., predator-prey) communities; and spatial networks connected by dispersal. Students will become familiar with 5 major themes related to ecological dynamics: population growth and density dependence, competition, consumer-resource interactions and spatial processes. Students will develop skills in conceptual thinking and data analysis, using and developing ecological models to predict how populations change over time and space, as well as report writing and presentation skills. Students will learn about how these tools are used in practical situations like conservation and invasive species management. The course will be structured with lectures introducing background information and core concepts being followed by corresponding PC lab sessions where students will gain experience of putting those concepts into practice. An additional workshop session will prepare students for group presentations dealing with classical concepts in population ecology.
BIO330 Tropical marine ecology and conservation

This module will provide a holistic overview of the ecology and conservation of important marine ecosystems, and will place this information within the context of ecosystem services, and their value to humanity. This module will consist of up to 12 lectures/seminars on the following topics: ¿ Diversity and biology of coral reef communities ¿ Structure and function of seagrass meadows (temperate and tropical) ¿ Mangrove forest ecology ¿ Connectivity across the tropical marine seascape ¿ The ecosystem services of tropical marine systems ¿ Response of coral reef systems to climate change and ocean acidification ¿ Degradation of tropical marine systems ¿ Resilience thinking and the management of tropical marine systems The module also contains a workshop session and additional direct contact with the module lead lecturer.
BIO347 Tropical Ecology and Conservation - Borneo Field Trip

Borneo is a hot spot for biodiversity both in regards to terrestrial and marine ecosystems. This module is a residential field course which will explore ecological and conservation principles in tropical rainforests and marine ecosystems.
