COURSE OVERVIEW: In this three-day course, we introduce species
distribution models (SDMs) and ways to incorporate phylogenetic information
into single species models using R. We begin by providing an overview on
the use of SDMs as a central tool for ecologists and evolutionary biologists,
review and implement common SDM approaches and introduce hybrid models, which
use the information in functional traits to complement the models. We then
justify the rationale for using phylogenetic information in absence of
functional trait data and show how to incorporate phylogenetic information
in SDMs (day 1). We review examples of practical implementation of PSDMs to
both present and future climate scenarios (day 2). Finally, we overview
more advanced approaches of incorporating phylogenies into models (the
Bayesian Phylogenetic Mixed Model) and how to project model results into a
spatial context (day 3).
