Learn how to build robust, reproducible species distribution and ecological
niche models in our live online course *Standard Modelling Procedure for
Species Distribution and Ecological Niche Modelling (SDMS01)*.

https://prstats.org/course/standard-modelling-procedure-for-species-distribution-and-ecological-niche-modelling-sdms01/

This applied R training introduces a structured workflow for building,
evaluating, and interpreting species distribution models (SDMs) and
ecological niche models (ENMs), widely used in ecology, conservation
science, and biodiversity research.

Participants will work through practical examples and learn how to apply
best-practice modelling procedures to real ecological datasets.

The course covers:

   -

   Core concepts behind species distribution and ecological niche modelling
   -

   Preparing species occurrence and environmental predictor data
   -

   Model calibration, validation, and interpretation
   -

   Avoiding common modelling pitfalls and biases
   -

   Reproducible modelling workflows in R

The training is delivered live online, with recordings available
afterwards. Participants receive course materials, example datasets, and
post-course support.

Dates: 23?24 April 2026
Duration: 2 days (approximately 5 hours per day)
Format: Live online
Fee: ?275

This course is suitable for postgraduate students, researchers, ecological
consultants, and environmental professionals who want a practical
introduction to SDMs and ENMs using standardised workflows in R.
