Projects from the Introductory Course on Ecological Niche Modeling and Species Distributions

The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the vast and fascinating field of ecological niche modeling and species distributions. The course aims to teach students the most important conceptual foundations for the proper use and interpretation of ecological niche models and to help them acquire technical skills for using modeling programs and R packages, enabling them to conduct various analyses, with an emphasis on topics such as climate change and biological invasions. As an introductory course, there will be sessions focused on presenting central concepts in geographic ecology and other topics, as well as practical sessions for the use of modeling programs and R packages.
