Stable Isotope Mixing Models using SIBER, SIAR, MixSIAR"

Delivered by Dr. Andrew Parnell and Dr Andrew Jackson

Course overview:
This course will cover the concepts, technical background and use of 
stable isotope mixing models (SIMMs) with a particular focus on running 
them in R. This course will cover the concepts, technical background and 
use of stable isotope mixing models (SIMMs) with a particular focus on 
running them in R. Recently SIMMs have become a very popular tool for 
quantifying food webs and thus the diet of predators and prey in an 
ecosystem. Starting with only basic understanding of statistical models, 
we will cover the do’s and don’ts of using SIMMs with a particular focus 
on the widely used package SIAR and the more advanced MixSIAR. 
Participants will be taught some of the advanced features of these 
packages, which will enable them to produce a richer class of output, 
and are encouraged to bring their own data sets and problems to study 
during the round-table discussions.
