進階生態學程式
對多數科學家而言，生命表理論與資料分析都相當困難。生命表資料是真正的「大數據」，包含整個種群的存活率、發育率(請注意：此發育率並非一般熱積溫之1/duration或1/day)、繁殖率、開始繁殖之年齡、性比率、齡期分化等等，而這些都隨年齡與齡期而改變。分析這些資料時，不可以將各項目分開單獨分析。例如：只考慮發育速率
(請注意：一般以1/day計算不同溫度下的發育速率，並沒有科學依據)時，則忽略了存活率與繁殖率，所得到的結果會以偏概全。分析繁殖率時，若忽略了繁殖率隨年齡的變化，也會造成以偏蓋全的問題。唯有
依據生命表理論，才能將所有因子綜合考慮，進行系統性的分析；因此，生命表大數據的分析十分困難。為了協助學者依據年齡齡期兩性生命表理論分析生命表資料，本人免費提供TWOSEX-MSChart軟件供學者使用。但是，使用者必須學習理論，才能正確闡釋生命表資料分析的結果、繪製正確的圖、製作正確的表、比較不同處理的差異。使用者同時必須遵守學術道德，誠實引用每個公式的原創論文。(若您不願依照合約引用相關論文，則無權使用)。
生命表只是種群生態學研究的起點，唯有將生命表與捕食率(或寄生率、取食量)結合，才能進一步研究生物種群間的交互作用，也才能將生命表知識實際應用於生物防治、害蟲治理、規劃大量飼育天敵、預測施藥時期與次數、釋放天敵時機與次數等各方面。我建議使用者進一步學習CONSUME
(可用於取食量、捕食率、寄生率的分析)，再與TIMING (預測害蟲種群生長與取食量)結合，才能進行有系統地研究、害蟲治理與生物防治。
為協助各校師生學習生命表理論、捕食理論、電腦模擬、資料分析、科學繪圖、論文寫作等，本人提供完整的課程 (五天至十天)，有需要之學校與單位可與本人聯繫
(hsinchi@dragon.nchu.edu.tw)。(課程綱要)
Advanced
Ecology Software
Life tables are a prime
tool used in population ecology and pest management. Because of its inherent
complexity, life table theory and data analysis are often difficult for many scientists. Life
table data can be considered as actual "big data" and its analysis may be
complex and quite difficult. Generation of a life table, however, is only the
beginning, not the end. Once generated, you will need to link your life table
with accompanying predation, consumption, and/or parasitism rates to enable
study of predator-prey (parasitoid-host) relationships and other practical
application of life table theory in pest management, biological control,
conservation studies, sustainable agriculture, etc. It is necessary to use
computer simulation to integrate these big data to simulate and predict the
growth of a pest/predator population and to estimate the damage/control
efficiency of a crop/pest. I offer an intensive workshop entitled "Insect Life
Tables, Predation Rate, Computer Simulation for Ecological Research, Biological
Control and IPM" (5- to 10-day). My lecture will enable an understand of the
details of life table theory, provide practical instruction on how to analyze
your life table and predation rate data, how to compare differences between
treatments, how to simulate population growth, and how to predict the most
advantageous time to implement control measures. The differences between the
traditional female age-specific life table and the age-stage, two-sex life table
will be compared and discussed. Many examples of common errors that can be
found in literature (past and present) will be discussed during the lecture. If
you are interested in this lecture (workshop), please contact me (hsinchi@dragon.nchu.edu.tw).

There are two versions
for all programs. The "exe" version can be executed without setup. After
doing so, you will have to run them "As administrator". It
is better to run
these programs from your C: drive. Please read the file "00-How to use TWOSEX-New" for additional information.

生命表是生態學與害蟲治理最重要的基礎。但是研究工作不可停滯於收集生命表，唯有進一步研究捕食率、寄生率、取食量(使用CONSUME軟件)，才能將生命表理論與數據實際用於種群間關係(捕食率、寄生率、葉片取食量)之研究
。研究人更必須將生命表理論與數據用於預測種群增長(使用TIMING軟件)。唯有如此，生命表才能全面實際應用於生態學研究與害蟲治理。
重要說明：生命表檔案第三行必須寫"處理代號"(愈短愈好)，例如：25C
(代表25度的生命表),
Cab30C (代表cabbage
上30度的生命表),
25C-LC20 (代表25度下以LC20處理的生命表)
或用任何你自己最容易了解的處理名稱。簡明的處理代號有助於配對
自我重複取樣比較
(paired bootstrap test)結果
的判讀。
The life table is the
basis of population ecology. Once you have achieved an understanding of
life tables and how they are used, you can move forward in studying
predation, parasitism, and consumption. You will then be able to study the
interactions between populations. You should also include population
projection in your studies (using the TIMING program). You can then predict
population growth and interactions between predator and prey populations.
You will then be able to successfully apply your life table, predation rate,
and timing results in managing a pest population.
Special Note: Please write
"treatment code" in the third line of the life table data file. This is
important for the paired bootstrap test. For example, you can write "25C" to
represent a life table collected at 25 degree Celsius, or "Cab30C" to
represent a life table collected at 30C reared on cabbage, or "25C-L20" to
represent a life table collected at 25C and treated with LC20. Your
annotation should be as short as possible.

Application for personal help or instruction (個別輔導申請書)
您在學習與研究過程中遭遇困難時，請先與您的指導教授討論。一般而言，您的指導教授將在您的論文上掛名為通訊作者；您的指導教授必須了解相關理論、您的研究資料與分析方法，才能給予您正確的指導
，並協助您解決問題。這是基本的學術行為準則與道德。
因為我的研究、教學、論文寫作都十分忙碌，若您遭遇困難，請先行閱讀本人的論文與本網頁下方提供的使用說明(How-to
files)。大多數問題都可以藉由閱讀本人的論文與相關說明檔案
學習並自行解決。「自行解決問題」雖然比較困難，也需要較多時間，但唯有如此才能培養科學家應有的獨立學習、思考、解決問題的能力，您的收穫也會較多。
若您有特殊問題，無法自行解決而需要本人個別輔導時，應先請您的指導教授來信，您也必須詳閱並填寫個別輔導申請書(您的指導教授必須簽名)。申請書中應附照片，以便老師認識尋求幫助的學生。您的
指導教授或您必須先說明您的問題。若需長時間個別指導、或需研究新的理論、方法或技術，則必須以學術合作為前提，您的指導教授必須事先來信討論合作方式。
來信請求協助時，若您與我並不熟悉，請務必先自我介紹(單位、姓名、指導教授等)。若收到我的回信，請務必回信告知。這是基本的禮貌。
科學問題往往不是簡單的單一問題，直接告訴學生答案不是正確的教育方法，反而會導致學生「知其然，而不知其所以然」。啟發式教育十分重要
。通常我會先問您一些問題，了解您的程度與問題，再引導您做正確的科學思考。
If
you encounter difficulties, please discuss these with your major professor
first. Because your professor will be the corresponding author (or coauthor)
of your paper, he is expected to understand your research, theoretical
background, and data analysis. If you still cannot solve the problems and
need personal assistance from me, please read and complete the application
form. Although independent study can be difficult and requires a
considerable amount of time, it is an important attribute for all scientists
to master. In the “long run” it will make you capable of "critical
thinking". Independent study and problem solving are critical to successful
scientific research. If you prefer not investing the time required to read
and study, it is unfair of you to ask me to use my time to help you. Before
you ask for help, please try your best!
When you have tried as hard as you can (and
“reached the end of your rope”), but still cannot find the solution, you can
apply for personal assistance (your application must be co-signed by your
major professor). A passport photo is also required to let me know who I am
assisting. If you require long time personal assistance and scientific help,
it should be based on cooperation. In which case, your professor must
contact me.
If you ask for help, please
introduce yourself first (name, affiliation, major professor, etc.). If you receive my reply and help,
please
acknowledge on receipt of my e-mail -
this is the basic rule in scientific
communication.

齊老師的說明：如果使用者想學習生命表理論、捕食理論、電腦模擬與資料分析，請務必先行閱讀我的論文與使用說明檔案，認真學習。有些使用者與指導教授不願花時間閱讀教材，卻圖方便要求我直接教導，這是不對的。若使用者確實已經閱讀我的論文與這些使用說明，仍然無法找到需要的答案，使用者與指導教授才可以與我討論或尋求協助。
