This course will teach you the base theory of ecological niche modelling and
its main methodologies. By the end of this 5-day practical course, you will
have the capacity to perform ecological niche models and understand their
results. You will be able to choose and apply the correct methodology depending
in the aim of your study and type of datasets.
The course will be mainly practical, with some theoretical lectures. All
modelling processes and calculations will be performed with R, the free
software environment for statistical computing and graphics
(https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.r-2Dproject.org_&d=DwIFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=Ry_mO4IFaUmGof_Yl9MyZgecRCKHn5g4z1CYJgFW9SI&m=KSe9eAc8bmAasMSBoEHfSPiPVl8u3VQmzScVpieVZRY&s=l-DFhhKWySOHxgX_peEo1mMs8vK-gTpv1w_i4Zb_9wE&e=).
Students will learn to use modelling algorithms like Maxent, Bioclim, Domain,
and logistic regressions, and R packages for computing ENMs like Dismo and
Biomod2. Also, students will learn to compare different ecological niche models
with Ecospat package.
This course is orientated to PhD and MSc students, as well as other students
and researchers working on biogeography, spatial ecology, or related
disciplines.
Requeriments: Basic knowledge in Geographical Information Systems and R
statistical package is necessary.
PLACE: Capellades, Barcelona (Spain).
Organized by Transmitting Science.
Places are limited and will be covered by strict registration order.
With best regards
