Background

For an overall understanding of geospatial data, read:

Species Distribution Modeling (SDM)

The potential distribution of individual species may be predicted using SDM tools:

Macro-ecological Modeling

Distributions of many species may be combined to look at biodiversity at landscape levels:

Metacommunity Phylogenetic Analyses (MCPA)

Additional phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses can be performed with a phylogenetic (evolutionary) tree containing the same species and biogeographic maps of regions for which to compare species communities:
