[R-sig-eco] Advanced Ecological Niche Modelling Using R (ANMR01)

[Oliver Hooker]

ONLINE COURSE – Advanced Ecological Niche Modelling Using R (ANMR01)
This course will be delivered live

https://www.prstatistics.com/course/advanced-ecological-niche-modelling-using-r-anmr01/

Have you built an Ecological Niche Model? If yes, you have already
encountered challenges on data preparation, or have struggled with
issues in models fitting and accuracy. This course will teach you how
to overcome these challenges and improve the accuracy of your
ecological niche models.

TIME ZONE – Western European Time – however all sessions will be
recorded and made available allowing attendees from different time
zones to follow a day behind with an additional 1/2 days support after
the official course finish date (please email
oliverhooker using prstatistics.com for full details or to discuss how we
can accommodate you).

Course Overview:
Ecological niche, species distribution, habitat distribution, or
climatic envelope models are different names for mechanistic and
correlative models, which are empirical or mathematical approaches to
the ecological niche of a species. These methods relate
different types of ecogeographical variables (environmental,
topographical, human) to species physiological data or geographical
locations, in order to identify the factors limiting and defining the
species’ niche. ENMs have become popular because of their efficiency
in the design and implementation of conservation management.

By the end of 5-day practical course you will have the capacity to

1) filter records and select your variables with variance inflation factor;
2) test the effect of Maxent regularization parameter in models performance;
3) validate models performance and accuracy;
4) perform MESS analysis, null models, and mechanistic models, as well
as to build your “virtual species”.
5) Students will learn to use functions implemented in the packages
“usdm”; “dismo”; “ENMEval”; “SDMvspecies”; “spThin”; and “NicheMapper”
among others.
