Coming up soon the 4th edition of the “Species distributions models: concepts, methods, applications, and challenges”, which introduces the fundamental concepts underpinning ecological niche models (ENM), while describing some of the most prominent methods currently in use, and discussing the strengths and limitations of these models for different applications. The course jointly organised by Science Retreats and the InBIO-CIBIO at the University of Évora gives equal weight to theory and application. During one day the students will analyse their data and prepare a small report for discussion in the class. More information and registrations are available here:
