The research survey closes 1st of July, last chance to be heard! It takes only takes 5 to 15 minutes, just follow this link to accept this invitation to take the (anonymous) research survey...
https://microsoft.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_80yEiYdFCj7Q3dO

If you model Niches, Habitat Suitability, Climate Response Surfaces, Climate Envelopes, Bio-climate envelopes, Species Distributions (etc...) ?
Using software, such as BIOMOD, BIOMAPPER, CANNOCO, GARP, MARS , MAXENT, MODECO, OPENMODELLER, R, RANDOM FORESTS, (etc...), then we would love you to participate!

What do you want to do with the software and how?
Is our Science "intertwined with technical innovation..." and "dependent on the existence of suitable software"? (Thuiller et al. 2009, Ecography, 32, 369-373)
We will publish aggregated results so the modelling community & developers (everyone!) benefits from this research project.
It is all anonymous (you can find the project and privacy information here...
