Master in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution
Visit Master of Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution (BEE) aims to train professionals in ecology research, biodiversity management and land use planning.
This Master offers eight courses, to which the DU UNITEID - MIE is attached:
BGE
Bioinformatics and environmental genomics
Shared with the Bioinformatics specialization, this course focuses on the processing and integration of different types of Omics data, and on the inference and dynamic modeling of gene networks to better understand the dynamic behavior of the biological system as a whole.
SEEH
Health, ecology and human evolution
Shared with the Biology-Health specialization, this course is designed to train professionals in ecological research, biodiversity management and land-use planning to understand and manage the functioning of natural and anthropized systems; to approach the major questions and issues related to the biosphere and human-biosphere interactions from an evolutionary or functional point of view; to consider processes from the individual to ecosystems, using data analysis, behavioral ecology, remote sensing and conservation biology.
GATE
Geomatics for land use planning and ecology
This course integrates sustainable development and transitions into territorial projects, and draws on digital spatial management tools. It provides planning training for students who have completed a standard course in ecology; these students have acquired a range of skills enabling them to understand how ecosystems function, the impact of human activity, the resulting environmental problems and the solutions that can be envisaged in multi-stakeholder land-use planning projects.
It also trains students in digital tools (GIS, RDBMS, satellite image processing), which are well established among all planning professionals (design offices, local authorities and government departments).
EcoAnt
Ecosystems and anthropization
The first year is dedicated to teaching the theoretical and practical foundations required to understand the organization and functioning of ecological systems. The second year focuses on deepening knowledge of community and ecosystem ecology in the context of global change and anthropization. The course also covers applications in the fields of bioassessment and ecological engineering.
GBI
Biodiversity management
This course trains students for careers in the preservation and restoration of natural areas and wild flora and fauna. It enables students to acquire the scientific skills needed to study and inventory biodiversity, characterize a population, assess a state of conservation, and propose a conservation/restoration strategy that is biologically, ecologically and socially acceptable.
MSE
Ecological systems modeling
The aim of this pathway is to enable students to develop conceptual and practical mastery of modeling tools in the broadest sense (mathematical modeling, statistics, computer science) to meet the growing demand for people with dual skills in ecology, in all its forms (functional, evolutionary, fundamental, applied ecology, etc.). This program trains ecology students who stand out for their mastery of quantitative methods.
EcoEvo
Ecology & evolution
The aim is to offer a high-level curriculum in ecology and evolution to students with a passion for science and nature, and a strong motivation for training through research. The course aims to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying wild biodiversity at different scales of time, space and hierarchical levels of organization (genes, genomes, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems). Fundamental and applied aspects are integrated into the issues addressed, both for the protection of nature, wild populations, species and communities, and for the services provided to humans by ecosystems.
MAB
Biodiversity management
This course is designed to provide concepts and tools for managers and organizers of protected areas and territories, working in the spirit of UNESCO's MAB (Man and the Biosphere) program. The course emphasizes knowledge of the interactions between human activities and ecological systems, for the sustainable management of natural resources.
