Course on species distribution modelling

Add to calendar
4 - 10 July 2016
10:00 - 18:00 CEST

This is the 3rd edition of the course “Species distributions models: concepts, methods, applications, and challenges”, which introduces the fundamental concepts underpinning ecological niche models (ENM), describing some of the most prominent methods currently in use, and discussing the strengths and limitations of these models for different applications. The course gives equal weight to theory and application. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to run ENM with the new SDM R platform (Naimi & Araújo 2016 Ecography) and they will be asked to bring their own data (if such data are not available we can provide our own data).

Deadline for applications is 8 April 2016.

Information on fees and application is on the course website.
