Ecology Courses & Books

We provide training courses, data workshops, data consulting services, text books, and resources for ecology, conservation & environmental science.

Our Ecology Courses include statistics, data analysis, and data visualisation, as well as data management. Courses can be held in the UK or online. Whatever your background we have an Ecology Course that is suitable. Our introductory courses use Microsoft Excel™, a familiar software tool. Other courses feature R: The Statistical Programming Language. The R program is an Open Source project that is widely used by Universities and Professionals. Our Ecology Courses can also be tailored to produce bespoke training, to best suit your requirements.

Our Books include data analysis, statistical hypothesis testing, predictive analysis, and data visualisation, as well as more specific topics in ecology, conservation and environmental science. Our Books cover general data science, using Excel and featuring R: The Statistical Programming Language. Our Books also feature ecology topics, such as Statistics for Ecologists and Community Ecology.

Data Analytics Consulting Services

Our Data Analytics Consulting Services can help you move your project forwards by helping with data analysis. Our Data Analytics Consulting Services can help you analyse, visualise and interpret your project data in Ecological Research or Conservation Biology.

Our Consulting Services can help with a range of topics, including:

  • Conservation Biology Project data analytics.
  • Ecological Research Project data analytics.
  • Ecological Diversity.
  • Beta Diversity.
  • Species and Environmental Habitat.
  • Multivariate and Community Analysis (Ordination).
  • Data Visualisation.
  • Predictive Analysis and Machine Learning.

Data Analytics Consulting Services would be useful for: Ecology Students, Researchers, NGOs, and Government Agencies.

Note: If you are an ecology student a project workshop may be more suitable, to give you the skills you need to conduct the analyses yourself. In any event you should ask your supervisor to contact us.
