Melanie Colón Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Quantitative geographic ecology using R: modelling genomes, niches, andcommunities (QGER01)https://www.prstatistics.com/course/quantitative-geographic-ecology-using-r-modelling-genomes-niches-and-communities-qger01/30th April 2018 - 4th May 2018Dr. Dan Warren and Dr. Matt FitzpatrickCourse Overview:Spatial modelling is increasingly being used in ecology and evolutionarybiology for both basic and applied research questions. While emphasistraditionally has been on species-level niche modelling, the increasingavailability of genomic and community-level data has increased interest inmodelling biodiversity patterns above and below the species level. This5-day course will provide a thorough introduction to different spatialmodelling techniques for quantifying and visualizing patterns ofbiodiversity across scales of biological organization – from population-level genetic variation, to species ecological niches, to communities.Students will learn about theory, common data types, and statisticaltechniques used in these different applications.The course will include introductory lectures, guided computer coding in R,and exercises for the participants, with an emphasis on visualization andreproducible workflows. All modelling and data manipulation will beperformed with R. Attendees will learn to use niche modelling algorithmsincluding Maxent, GLM, GAM, and others, and will learn both new andexisting methods for conducting comparative studies using ENMs in the newENMTools R package. Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling (GDM) and GradientForest (GF) will be taught for modelling genomic and community-level data.The course is intended for intermediate R users with interest inquantitative geographical ecology.After successfully completing this course students will:1) Understand the theory underlying ENMs and the critical assumptionsnecessary to the modelling process.2) Be able to develop, evaluate, and apply ENMs both in the context ofconservation-oriented studies and to study niche evolution.3) Understand the statistical underpinnings of GDM and GF4) Be able to develop, evaluate and apply GDM and GF for quantifying andmapping spatial genetic patterns and community-level compositional variation5) Assess population- and community-level vulnerability to climate changeMonday 30thOrganisation and Introductions.Spatial data in R.Point data, vector data, and raster data.GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.Interacting with Google Maps.Working with raster and vector data.Tuesday 1stEcological vs. historical biogeography.ENM / SDM concepts and assumptionsDismoConceptual and practical issues with ecological inferences fromdistribution data.Simulating species occurrence data.Wednesday 2ndTesting ecological and evolutionary hypotheses via Monte Carlo methods.ENMTools R package.EcospatQuestions of taxonomic scale.Incorporating niche conservatism into the modelling process.Thursday 3rdIntroduction to community-level modelingBackground on GDM and GFReview of data formats and data preparation• Community-level data• Genomic dataModel fitting and testingInterpreting model results, including turnover functionsModel testing / validation / variable selectionFriday 4thPredictions & Applications of GDM / GFTransforming gridsVisualizing spatial variation in community / genetic composition• Dissimilarity between locations• Projecting patterns under climate changePlease send enquiries to oliverhooker@prstaititcs.comOther upcoming courses1.
