Species distribution models (SDM) are powerful tools for inferring species ecology, response to environmental change, and biodiversity at multiple spatial and temporal scales. However, understanding species’ ranges at landscape or global scales typically requires moving beyond designed studies, which are relatively small scale, to capitalize on museum collections and citizen science projects which can represent data spanning entire species ranges across current and historic habitats. Understanding species’ range-wide distribution is a requirement for developing evidence-based conservation plans and predicting species’ response to global change, facilitated by digitization efforts and open-source observations databases. In this hands-on workshop, participants will review the state of the science in species distribution modelling, consider best-practices in mobilizing collections-based and citizen-science data sources for distribution modeling, and fit a basic SDM (i.e., access species and environmental data, process, and fit a statistical distribution model). Participants should bring their own laptop; hands-on sessions will use the free R programming environment. Example code and data for modeling will be provided, although some previous practice working with R will be useful.<br> | Species distribution models (SDM) are powerful tools for inferring species ecology, response to environmental change, and biodiversity at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

In this workshop, we will discuss and demonstrate basic workflows in working with biodiversity data in R, including downloading, cleaning, preparing, and analyzing data from iDigBio and GBIF. Basic data structure, useful functions, and tips and tricks will be addressed. Please indicate any specific questions or topics you would like to see covered during this session when you register. This is a hands-on workshop, so bring a laptop with R or R Studio already installed. The workshop leader will be demoing in R Studio. | ||

The island is almost completely wooded with small stands of beech, pine and cedar trees among mixed scrub and hardwoods. Please be aware that some of the walking will be over uneven, sometimes slippery, very rocky terrain so appropriate footwear is required. Horse Island is among Connecticut’s Thimble Islands, 1.5 miles offshore from Stony Creek in Branford, Connecticut. Upon returning from the island, there will be an opportunity to have lunch in one of the local eateries in Stony Creek, a small seaside village which retains its roots as a summer vacation location with old Victorian hotels and a working granite quarry. ''This field trip will cost $12 for the water taxi. Free transportation from New Haven to Branford will be provided. | | colspan="4" style="text-align:left; vertical-align:top; background-color:#eed1a9;"|'''Field Trip 1 - Horse Island Field Trip<br>8:15 am - 1:00 pm'''<br>On this short excursion to a 17-acre uninhabited island in Long Island Sound, we’ll see a mix of coastal and early successional vegetation, with wide rocky intertidal zones.

East Rock Park, located close to New Haven Harbor, acts as a green haven to migrating birds coming in from the ocean, with upwards of 20 warbler species per day present during peak migration. From our starting point at the Eli Whitney Museum, we will make a 2-mile easy loop through riparian habitat where we may find swimming Wood Ducks with their young and Yellow Warblers on nests. The dirt path meanders along the deciduous woodland slope, where Scarlet Tanagers and Wood Thrush are common.<br> | | colspan="4" style="text-align:left; vertical-align:top; background-color:#eed1a9;"|'''Field Trip 2 - Bird Walk in East Rock Park<br>8:30 am - 11:00 am'''<br>Late spring migrants may still be lingering in this urban park as we walk along the Mill River in search of birds.

The hike itself will last two hours and there will be a half hour walk between the museum and the park. The route will include road and trail walking as well as some steep slopes. Participants are advised to wear long pants, sturdy shoes and dress for the weather. Participants may also want to bring water and snacks. There are no bathroom facilities along the intended route. <br> | The hike itself will last two hours and there will be a half hour walk between the museum and the park.

The North America Regional Nodes meeting brings together Node Managers and other designated representatives from the participant nodes in the [https://www.gbif.org/the-gbif-network/north-america GBIF North America region]. The goal of the meeting is to inspire collaboration and discussion of shared goals, challenges, and opportunities. The meeting will focus on progress updates from the represented nodes, preparations for the Governing Board meeting, and a discussion of strategies/goals for the coming year. A link to a more detailed agenda will be provided at a later date.<br> | |||
'''Please contact [https://www.idigbio.org/contact/David_Jennings David Jennings], GBIF Nodes Regional Representative North America, if you plan to attend. This meeting is intended for Node Managers within the GBIF North America region.''' | |||
