Ecological Niche Modeling Conceptual Workflows Deana Pennington University of New Mexico December 16, 2004
Wed/Thursday • Wed morning: Kepler training • Wed afternoon: Workflows that can be slightly modified from the mammal/climate change workflow (community + help from SEEK) • Thurs: Workflows that require substantive new functionality
User list • Kepler-project.org ->Getting involved ->kepler-users mailing list
Usability • Survey and consent forms http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=90778724262
Community projects • Workflows that could be done with minor modification to the mammal/climate change workflow
Variations on CC theme • Paleoclimates • Analysis for all species, undeveloped country • Other places/other species • Different scales
Community/SEEK projects • Workflows that could require substantially different actors
Others • Dispersal • Productivity from remotely-sensed imagery • ???
Macroecology Needed
ENM Tasks • Detecting species interactions • Evaluate impacts on species’ distributions (e.g., human activities, environmental characteristics, interactions, history, ecology, etc.) • Designing monitoring systems (e.g., under climate change scenarios) • Map genetic diversity onto biogeographic patterns/species distributions/landscape diversity • Map biogeographic/phylogeographic patterns across multiple species • Time series analyses of species’ distributions; analysis of coupling/decoupling of species’ ecological nichs through time • Developing scenarios of invasion and filling a potential distribution • Discovery of new species (prediction of) • Constrain of potential distributional areas to actual distributional areas • Model validation • Inference of physiological parameters from distributions or vice versa • Evaluate dispersal capabilities • Macroecological analysis • Conservation prioritization (complementarity, etc.) • Analysis of beta-alpha-gamma diversity, etc. • Other manifestations… • Predict densities of populations (persistence) • Analysis of completeness of data sets (e.g., inventory completeness) • Using known interactions to reconstruct systems (e.g., diseases) • Overlay biotic patterns with human activity (e.g., land use) • Single species • Multiple species • Evaluate utility of environmental surrogacy for representing biodiversity information • Classification of biotic domains into a regionalization • Evaluation of representativeness and bias in data sets (realm/range of inference) • Detection of errors in data sets (quality control for taxonomy and geographic references in data sets ) • Model validation • Model ecosystems (e.g., species composition) based on simulated/created data sets to evaluate different techniques
