Day 1

Lectures

Spatial Subsampling.

Why ENM?.

ENM Theory.

Occurrence Data I.

Occurrence Data II.

Climate Data.

Practicals

Spatial subsampling

Read this first Analytical explanation.

Then work through the divvy vignette.

Filtering occurrences

Start with R script 1.

Then do R script 2.

R script 2 requires this environmental data.

Build your own climate model

Play around with building your own climate model.

Day 2

Lectures

Calibration region.

ENM Models.

Evaluation I.

Evaluation II.

Model Transfer & Extrapolation.

Niche Comparisons.

Analysis Software.

Practicals

SDM R Package vignette

Work through this R script.

The R script requires occurrence data.

Niche overlap analyses

Work through this R script.

The R script requires niche and environmental data. Please download the entire folder.

ENMeval

Work through this R script.

This R script replaces subsection 7 (user-defined) of the “Partitioning Occurences for Evaluation” of the ENMeval vignette. This modified script installs an older version of the package ‘blockCV’, which is still compatible with the ‘raster’ package.
