Title Theoretical and Computational Ecology
Description

[EN] The aim of the TCE Group is to provide conceptual advance in ecological theory using as essential tools mathematical and computational techniques. Empowering ecology with fundamental principles of stochastic processes and quantitative methods. We are particularly interested in building a bridge between theory and data. The TCE Group is a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary research group that develops specific research lines and provides general theoretical foundations of observational and empirical research in ecology. The group is particularly strong in the analysis of data-rich systems (field or lab) in the context of (1) Population, Community Ecology & Biodiversity, (2) Movement Ecology & Invasion Biology, (3) Epidemics. More generally, we are interested in the application of universal principles of complex adaptive systems to ecology and value mathematical simplifications as a means to develop predictive and conceptual models to bring light to current ecological problems.

[ES] El objetivo del Grupo es contribuir al progreso de la ecología utilizando como herramientas esenciales técnicas matemáticas y computacionales con particular competencia en los fundamentos y principios generales de la fisica estadistica y los procesos estocasticos. Valoramos las simplificaciones matemáticas como un medio para desarrollar modelos y estamos particularmente interesados en construir un puente entre la teoría y los datos. Es un grupo de investigación multidisciplinar que, además de desarrollar líneas de investigación específicas, trabaja en las aproximaciones teoricas que fundamentan la investigación observacional y empírica que se lleva a cabo en ecología, y com ambición de transferencia de conocimiento. El grupo es particularmente fuerte en el análisis de sistemas ricos en datos (campo o laboratorio) en el contexto de (1) Ecología de Poblaciones, Comunidades y Biodiversidad, (2) Ecología del Movimiento y Biología de la Invasión, (3) Dinamica de Enfermedades.
