This tutorial is a practial guide for Species Distribution Modelling (SDM). The tutorial will use the "dismo" package of "R" and will show the guidelines on how to model species distribution starting from occorency data (got from internet, or users ones) and a set of bioclimatic variables.
After a brief introduction of SDM, with some examples of biological application, this tutorial will show a guide (split in 5 main sections or modules) that leads the user step by step how to obtain a distribution map. Afterwards there will be some suggestions on how to deal with common issues and statistical errors that may affect the analysis and to evaluate properly the output.
