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, and cellular automata. It generates ensembles of models, and several options for evaluation of model results and projection of species potential distributions in space and [...]

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. BART can produce highly accurate predictions without overfitting to noise or to particular cases in the data. Notably, unlike most SDM methods, BART generally shows [...]

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 crucial role in facilitating the effective use of biodiversity data. We this approach we are responding to WALLACEAN SHORTFALL  - The Wallacean shortfall is named [...]

Call for Workshop Proposals

The International Biogeography Society (TIBS) is seeking proposals for workshops on methods and approaches important in biogeographic research. Workshops should take place between 1 October 2024 and 31 October 2025, that is, between our January 2024 (Prague_ and January 2026 (Aarhus) biannual meetings. Workshops could be held virtually, in-person, or as a combination of [...]

Workshop – Estimating biogeographic history with BioGeoBEARS and PhyBEARS

Historical biogeography methods have long been dominated by the "dispersal versus vicariance" debate, and different computer programs (e.g. DIVA, Lagrange, BayArea) have made different fixed assumptions about the importance of these processes. Researchers typically just run the different programs, and observe whether or not the inferences differ, but they have no ability to judge, [...]
