18th Global Online Seminar in Biodiversity Informatics

Going Beyond Distributions: Ecological Niche Modeling and the Estimation of Species' Abundances

Dr. Enrique Martinez-Meyer, a professor in the Instituto de Biologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, will present a seminar on his work with modeling and estimating species' abundances from presence-only distributional data. Enrique's research more generally focuses on distributional patterns of species in response to global change, and he advises a large group of students working on very diverse topics.

Enrique has provided several readings that interested persons can review in advance of the seminar to get the most out of his presentation. Available as a zip file at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz7zngiHwoqDcWJ1MnpHa0p6ems/view?usp=sharing.
