Species Distribution and Ecological Niche Modelling in R

Build and evaluate correlative species-distribution and ecological-niche models with R. The course connects niche theory with occurrence-data quality, environmental predictors, model fitting and validation, then examines spatial and temporal projections and their limitations. Participants learn to recognize common modelling pitfalls, automate reproducible analyses and apply workflows to example or personal species datasets.
