BioModelos: Species Distribution Maps from Colombian species

BioModelos is a collaborative online system to map species distributions (Velásquez-Tibata et al, 2019). This repository stores functions to automate the construction of Species Distribution Models (SDM) from databases gathered, managed and curated by The Alexander Von Humboldt Institute and a network of experts in order to be evaluated and refined.

Current state: in development.

Folders

Pre-processing

This folder includes routines that produce layers and data necessaries to run ecological niche models. The first implementation correspond to the obtention of mask in GIS format to cut environmental layers.

Modelling

This folder includes functions and routines necessaries to run ecological niche models using Maxent. This routines represent the BioModelos backbone used to infer spatial distribution models.

Post-Processing

This folder includes functions and routines proposed to clean ecological niche models and to obtain products based on the BioModelos such as spcies richness maps, vulnerability index and another which could be used as indicators.

Study-cases

This folder includes functions and routines (Pre-processing, modelling, post-processing) modified to run models to specific cases or biological groups.
