This course will be delivered by Andrew Jackson and Andrew Parnell in 
QWuebc, Canada for the 28th - 31st May 2018.

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.
