Workshop — Take your species distribution models to the next level with Bayesian non-parametric regression Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) are a powerful machine learning technique with very promising applications in ecology and biogeography in general, and in species distribution modelling (SDM)...

Registrations now open for the new edition of the workshop "Take your species distribution models to the next level with Bayesian non-parametric regression"! Organized by @biogeography.bsky.social. Sign up at www.biogeography.org/news/news/wo...

Check out our new paper in @EcographyJourna! A big team of #R pkg developers, we show how to improve analysis standards by using different pkgs for species distribution models together, a new pkg to catalog and explore them, and 3 extensive...

Delimiting the modelling background for scattered uneven occurrence data In species distribution modelling and ecological niche modelling (SDM & ENM), the region from where background or pseudoabsence points are picked is key to how well a model turns out. This regi…

Setting a good background region for SDM/ENM can be tricky when survey effort is heavily biased - as it often is. I've implemented some new approaches in #Rstats package fuzzySim. Anyone up for trying them out? modtools.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/d... #gis #gischat #ecology #biogeography #macroecology

Vol. 2 - I left my methods section in El Segundo I love A Tribe Called Quest. But there isn't a lot of hip hop like that anymore. Whenever you hear these old school beats now, it is likely as part of a...

To help students develop a sense of how our disciplines evolve, we should also teach from papers that seem a little outdated 🧪
