BART is a relatively recent technique that shows very promising results in the field of species distribution and ecological niche modelling (SDM / ENM)\, as it produces accurate predictions (considering various aspects of model performance) without overfitting to noise or to special cases in the data. Additionally\, BART allows mapping the uncertainty and credible intervals associated to each local prediction. \nThe course includes a combination of theoretical lectures and hands-on practicals in R\, as well as\nopen discussions about models and data for SDM applications. The practicals go through a\ncomplete worked example\, from data preparation to model output analysis\, with annotated R\nscripts that can be adapted on-the-spot by participants to work on their own species of interest.\nAlong the course\, the instructor is available for constant feedback and orientation on participants’; outputs and interpretations.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Intended Audiences\n				The course is aimed at students\, researchers and practitioners with an interest in implementing\nbest practices and state-of-the-art methods for modelling species’ distributions or ecological\nniches\, in an automated and reproducible way.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n				Delivered remotely\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Course Details\n				Availability – 18 places \nDuration – 3 days \nContact hours – Approx. 12 hours live\, plus remote assistance via Slack from the first day to the\nweekday after the course. \nECT’s – Equal to 1.5 ECT’s \nLanguage – English\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Teaching Format\n				This course runs along 3 days\, each with a 4-hour live online session.

Annotated scripts are\nprovided and instructor assistance is available\, both during the live sessions (on Zoom) and\nwhenever possible the rest of the day (on Slack)\, until the weekday after the course.\nLive sessions will be video-recorded\, uploaded to a video hosting website as soon as possible after\neach session\, and remain available for one month after the course.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Assumed quantitative knowledge\n				Participants should know what species distribution or ecological niche models (SDM / ENM) are\,\nand ideally have some previous experience with the basics. Previous knowledge of Bayesian\nstatistics is not required.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Assumed computer background\n				Participants should have some previous experience with R\, including package installation and\nbasic data handling\, although commented scripts will be provided for the entire course.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Equipment and software requirements\n				\nParticipants must use a computer with a good internet connection\, a working recent version or R (and ideally also RStudio)\, and recent versions of some R packages whose installation instructions will be sent a few days before the course.

The accessibility of recording equipment and growing availability of open-access acoustic libraries provide an unprecedented opportunity to study animal acoustic signals at large temporal\, geographic and taxonomic scales. However\, the diversity of analytical methods and the multidimensionality of these signals posts significant challenges to conduct analyses that can quantify biologically meaningful variation. The recent development of acoustic analysis tools in the R programming environment provides a powerful means for overcoming these challenges\, facilitating the gathering and organization of large acoustic data sets and the use of more elaborated analyses that better fit the studied acoustic signals and associated biological questions. The course will introduce students on the basic concepts in animal acoustic signal research as well as hands-on experience on analytical tools in R. \nBy the end of the course\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand the basic concepts of bioacoustics and how animal acoustic signals are analyzed\nGain proficiency in handling and manipulating acoustic data in R\, including working with ‘wave’ objects and other audio formats\nDevelop skills in building and interpreting spectrograms using Fourier transform techniques and the seewave package in R\nImport Raven Pro annotations into R and refine these annotations with warbleR functions\nUnderstand how to quantify the structure of acoustic signals through various approaches\nGain experience in quality control of recordings and annotations\, ensuring data integrity and accuracy\nCompare different methods for quantifying acoustic signal structure and understand the implications of each approach\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Intended Audiences\n				\nAcademics and post-graduate students conducting research in bioacoustics\, animal behavior\, ecology\, or related fields\nApplied researchers and analysts in public\, private\, or non-profit organizations who require robust\, reproducible\, and flexible tools for analyzing acoustic data\nCurrent R users seeking to expand their knowledge into the field of bioacoustics and learn how to utilize specialized packages for acoustic analysis\nWildlife biologists\, and conservationists interested in leveraging bioacoustic methods for species monitoring and behavioral studies\nData scientists and programmers interested in applying their coding skills to the analysis of animal acoustic signals\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n				Delivered remotely\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Course Details\n				Time Zone – UK (GMT) local time \nAvailability – 20 places \nDuration – 5 days\, 4 hours per day \nContact hours – Approx. 20 hours \nECT’s – Equal to 2 ECT’s \nLanguage – English\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Teaching Format\n				Introductory lectures on the concepts and refreshers on R usage.
