COURSE OVERVIEW: In this three-day course, we introduce species distribution models (SDMs) and ways to incorporate phylogenetic information into single species models using R. We begin by providing an overview on the use of SDMs as a central tool for ecologists and evolutionary biologists, review and implement common SDM approaches and introduce hybrid models, which use the information in functional traits to complement the models. We then justify the rationale for using phylogenetic information in absence of functional trait data and show how to incorporate phylogenetic information in SDMs (day 1). We review examples of practical implementation of PSDMs to both present and future climate scenarios (day 2). Finally, we overview more advanced approaches of incorporating phylogenies into models (the Bayesian Phylogenetic Mixed Model) and how to project model results into a spatial context (day 3).
