Species distribution / ecological niche modelling
Instructor:
Dr. Julie Lee-Yaw (UBC)
Dates & Location:
---------- 3 workshop days ----------
9am - 3:45pm, Monday November 14, 2016
Location: Liu Institute for Global Issue, Multipurpose room.
9am - 4pm, Tuesday November 15, 2016
Location: Liu Institute for Global Issue, Case room (please enter through outdoor courtyard as to not disturb people in the Multipurpose room).
9am - 4pm, Wednesday November 16, 2016
Location: Liu Institute for Global Issue, Multipurpose room.
Description:
Participants will learn how to apply species distribution / ecological niche modelling in conservation, reserve planning, invasive species biology, historical biogeography and global change biology. Students will learn how to build models as well as some of the limitations of different data, algorithms and interpretations.
Day 1: Introduction and data considerations (locality data and environmental data).
Day 2: Model calibration and evaluation.
Day 3: Alternatives to Maxent, and limitations and caveats of various tools. Plotting results if time permits.
