Dear colleagues,
A few slots are available for the 2-day course "Species occurrence data
download and cleaning with R".
Dates and schedule: Online live sessions on December 2nd and 4th, 2024;
from 15:00 to 19:00 (Madrid time zone).
Course overview:
Species occurrence data are essential for a range of ecological and
biogeographical analyses, from species distribution and ecological niche
models to biotic regionalizations and global biodiversity trends.
Species occurrence data are now widely available in multiple online
sources, although they are heterogeneous and come with caveats that need
to be addressed before moving on with the analysis.
In this short course, we will use a range of tools to
1) Import species occurrence data from various sources into R (e.g.
GBIF, iNaturalist, VertNet, EcoEngine, national / regional / continental
atlases)
2) Join and arrange these data into a homogeneous dataset for analysis
3) Map and visually inspect the data for taxonomic and spatial errors
and bias
4) Clean the data from detectable errors, using both non-automatic and
automatic tools (e.g. 'scrubr', 'CoordinateCleaner')
5) Correct or minimize spatial biases with different tools (e.g.
'spThin', 'humboldt.occ.rarefy', 'gridRecords').
The course will be highly interactive and will include both theoretical
and practical sessions. Participants are encouraged to work with their
own species of interest, although several illustrative examples will
also be provided.
