Dear all, I have strong interest on Ecological Niche Model, which in general use a set of environmental variables (continuous, categorical etc) and Presence (or Presense/Absence) records for species. I think that "grasp" and "adehabitat" packages could help me on these tasks. My input layers are on ASC format, and the re...

Dear all, For my PhD study I'm looking for relevant courses/workshops (short term) in ecological data anlysis with R in Europe. After 2 days searching I'm convinced that google is probably not the right medium to find this information. If anyone can help me I will be most grateful. Best regards - J.

Having just discovered "Task Views" I see there isn't one for ecology/environmental science. I don't have the expertise to help with this, but I think it would be a very useful addition if there was any person (s) on the list willing to help create such a Task View. I am sure the maintainers of the Task Views will pick up on any responses to this post from vol...

Hello, I'm using R code that includes a residual permutation that was written as a supplement to the paper: Turner et al. 2010. A general hypothesis-testing framework for stable isotopes ratios in ecological studies. Ecology 91:2227-2233. The supplemental code is available at: http://www.esapubs.org/archive/ecol/E091/157/suppl-1.htm When I execute the function, no warnings are given (seems fine). But the resulting output matrix is simply a matrix of repeating rows (i.e., it appears as if the func...

Hi, I have two tables and I need to merge both. I use the merge command, but in this way the name must be exactly. How I can make to compare independently of upper or lower-case?

We need a two-way non-parametric ANOVA in order to analysis properly some ecological data, do you know any reference in R? or how to do it?

...versity of Florida's Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center (Davie, FL) is looking to fill an immediate opening for the position of a Biological Scientist. We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated and responsible individual to join an exciting research team focused on spatial ecology, from fine-scale movement and habitat selection to range dynamics. Candidate will be responsible of the data system of the Lab (database, GIS and documents), and will assist research and extension projects within the Lab's themes. The primary missions of the Biological Scientist will be: 1....

...analysis. A MSc student is available to anwser the call, of course. The idea has already been briefly discussed with the mantainer of the adehabitat package and the AniMov project community. Short description Develop some add-on functions to use the adehabitat package to perform basic movement ecology analysis, in particular analysis of fractal dimension D. Developed functions could possibly be included in a future release of the adehabitat package itself. Detailed description Fractal dimension analysis is an useful tool to better understand not just the 'path tortuosity', in an ani...

Hi, I've added several pages of worked solutions for the book Ecological Detective by Hilborn and Mangel to the R-wiki. My hope is that this will be of use to others working through this book without access to a local expert. I am certainly not an expert, local or otherwise. I have posted solutions for chapters 3-6, which includes some really horrible direct trans...

...dle leaved evergreen forest, dense broad-leaved forest, barren, etc.). A statistician advised me to use the randomForest package in R and using a sub-set to generate the random Forest, I get a very good prediction for the rest. However, I need to evaluate how meaningful this classification is in an ecological sense (boreal trees should not play a role in the definition of tropical land-cover types, for example), otherwise I cannot judge the quality of the vegetation model's output. Unfortunately, randomForest gives me about 15.000 splits of which about 5000 are end branches (rough guess), so it...

Hello, I am relatively new to R and I am working through the code that is provided in the book Numerical Ecology with R and I have run across an error message that I can't seem to figure out.
