This is the second part of a training course on Species Distribution Modelling (also called Ecological Niche Modelling) taught by Richard Pearson at University College London in November 2014. The talk emphasizes that the models identify areas in a landscape that have similar environments to where the focal species has been observed (nothing more!), describes different types of predictions that are expected, describes some uses and misuses, and details the main steps undertaken when running a Species Distribution Model. Funding was provided by NERC (the UK Natural Environment Research Council).
