Welcome to the mopa wiki!

This is a tutorial containing a full worked example of species distribution modelling using different methods for pseudo-absence generation presented in Iturbide et al., 2015, combining environmental profiling and spatial extent restriction of the background (see Fig. 2 in the cited article). We illustrate the steps followed to produce some of the analyses presented in the article using the R package mopa (MOdelling Pseudo Absences). With mopa, data pre-processing and modeling is easily done in a few command lines.
