| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Research topics related to forest science have various contents ranging from fundamental and important to applied and up to date. This is an intensive course by extramural lecturers for each theme. The theme of this course is “Ecology of connection and disconnection of habitat / ecosystem.” Research on meta population ecology, landscape ecology, and interaction between ecosystems has been rapidly developing over the past 20 years. Both areas deal with responses of bio-organism to space heterogeneity and are beginning to be useful at biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management sites. It is very important for academic development that ideas and methods originated from basic research contribute to applications. In this lecture, we will introduce the challenges to the various problems that the authors have performed, with basic concepts. |

| Course Goals | Understanding in meta population ecology, landscape ecology, researches on ecological interactions. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
1.Meta population and landscape ecology Features and integration of two different fields, and application to conservation. 2. Habitat network of grassland insects Case study of migration and connectivity analysis using distribution patterns and tag recovery data. 3. Landscape matrix, indirect interaction Influence of landscape matrix on meta population, influence of nutritional cascade on connectivity 4. Circuit theory and its application Introduction and application example of circuit theory for connectivity evaluation, application to landscape genetics. 5. Separation of micro habitat and meta population behavior Impact of disconnection below the inhabitation patch on population and interaction 6. Creation mechanism of species diversity in heterogeneous landscape Emergent effect by combining multiple landscape elements: Habitat complementation and “Scale niche” 7. Balance between allochronous resources and ecosystem Transfer of bio-organisms and resources, and collapse of the balance in ecosystem |
