Practice II: Introduction to the diversity of algorithms for Species Distribution Modelling

This is the fourth part of a training course on Species Distribution Modelling (also called Ecological Niche Modelling) taught by Richard Pearson at University College London in November 2014. The talk gives an overview of different models that have been applied to estimate species distributions and makes recommendations for selecting a model (or multiple models). Funding was provided by NERC (the UK Natural Environment Research Council).

Do Maxent automatically generate this background file. If not then how can i make background data file especially in MaxEnt software.....? is it possible to separately make file in R and then used that file for MaxEnt software..
