This module will provide you an overview of successes and limitations of applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in basic and applied ecology and evolutionary biology. It will cover a wide range of topics such as monitoring and ID of species and individuals from image, video and sound; forecasting of population time series; species distribution modelling; modelling of derived metrics, e.g. for ecosystem service; automated taxonomic classification. Selected examples are developed in depth in both lectures and practicals.
