Opis

Through theory, applications, and examples of inferences, this book shows how to conduct and evaluate ecological niche modeling (ENM) projects in any area of application. It features a series of theoretical and practical exercises in developing and evaluating ecological niche models using a range of software supplied on an accompanying CD. These cover geographic information systems, multivariate modeling, artificial intelligence methods, data handling, and information infrastructure. The author then features applications of predictive modeling methods with reference to valid inference from assumptions. This is a seminal reference for ecologists as well as a superb hands-on text for students.
