Dear Colleagues,
With apologies for cross-posting.
This course is taught by Dr Roger Key, consultant ecologist and former Senior Invertebrate Ecologist for English Nature and Natural England. Dr Key will provide training in invertebrate surveying techniques from planning and preparations through to sampling strategies, surveying methods and reporting. Topics covered include interception and responsive trapping techniques, identification and taxonomic considerations, habitat description and evaluation, managing specimens, and analysing and interpreting data.
The course will appeal to a variety of practitioners in environmental science, management and ecology who want to improve their ability to display ecological data, and to use descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse the results from their field surveys. We would be grateful if list members would forward this information to colleagues, students, and volunteers to whom it may be of value.
We are also pleased to announce that a special student rate is now available, for further information and registration please visit:

The Invertebrates course forms part of the Oxford Postgraduate Certificate in Ecological Survey Techniques due to commence
September 2014. This course
provides training to ecologists and environmental managers that are seeking to enhance their field surveying and data analysis skills. For more information please visit:
