Les espècies exòtiques invasores (EEI) són una de les principals causes de pèrdua de la biodiversitat. Catalunya, degut a la seva localització, població i diversitat d’hàbitats i activitats és un dels territoris en el qual aquesta problemàtica és més acusada. Cal considerar que no totes les espècies invasores estan incloses a la legislació (catalogades) i que en aquesta figuren espècies que no poden ser considerades com a invasores a Catalunya. Leer más.

October 21st-24th, 2019, Barcelona (Spain). The course will include theoretical and practical lessons. We will use particular R packages, such as fuzzySim and modEvA, for 1) modelling species distributions based on available occurrence records; 2) evaluating the predictive capacity of these models using a varied set of measures that address different facets of model performance, such as discrimination, classification, explanatory power and calibration; and 3) incorporating natural uncertainty in analyses of species distributions, namely using fuzzy logic and formulas from quantum mechanics to assess similarity, diversity and change in biogeographical communities.

We are opening two 24-months postdoctoral position in biogeography, ecological modelling, community ecology and macroecology, at the Univ. Grenoble Alpes – CNRS, France. We are looking for outstanding young (or not so young) researchers focusing on understanding biodiversity distribution, dynamics and structure, under past, current and/or future conditions, and/or the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. For informal inquiries, please contact us: Wilfried Thuiller. wilfried.thuiller@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr Leer más.
