Abstract: This document provides an introduction to species distribution modeling with R . Species distribution modeling (SDM) is also known under other names including climate envelope-modeling, habitat modeling, and (environmental or ecological) niche-modeling. The assumption of SDM is that you can predict the entire, or potential, spatial distribution of a phenomenon, by relating sites of known occurence (and perhaps non-occurrence) with predictor variables known for these sites and for all other sites. The common application of this method is to predict species ranges with climate data as predictors.
