Workshop — TIBS-TABS workshop: R package for reconstructing altitudinal shifts in biogeographical systems over time
Understanding paleoclimatic variations is crucial for deciphering the historical shifts in global ecosystems, which have shaped today's biodiversity. The Temporal Altitudinal Biogeographical Shifts (TABS) R package is a powerful [...]
Miami University, Oxford Ohio — Associate or Full Professor
Associate or Full Professor – Ohio Eminent Scholar of Ecology with a strong track record of research in ecosystem ecology or related fields. Study areas may include, but are not [...]
Workshop — Building species distribution models in accordance with the ecological niche theory
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used as a tool for understanding species spatial ecology. They link species occurrence or abundance with environmental features of the location, via statistical [...]
Workshop — sdm: a reproducible and extensible R package for species distribution modelling
sdm is a comprehensive modelling and simulation framework that enables fitting of individual and community-based species distribution models, while supporting markedly different modelling methods including correlative, process-based (mechanistic), agent-based, [...]
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) in particular. [...]
Workshop — Biodiversity Data Publishing in GBIF and Data Papers – Darwin Core
Biodiversity data publishing is critical for several reasons, ranging from scientific research and conservation to policy-making and education. Darwin Core, a standardized framework for sharing biodiversity information, plays a [...]
Relaunch – Frontiers of Biogeography
The International Biogeography Society (TIBS) has relaunched its flagship open-access scientific journal, Frontiers of Biogeography (FoB), on the ARPHA platform, where it will be co-published with Pensoft Publishers.
