Workflows that could be done with minor modification to the mammal/climate change workflow
Variations on CC theme
Paleoclimates Analysis for all species, undeveloped

ENM Tasks1. Detecting species interactions2. Evaluate impacts on species’ distributions (e.g., human activities, environmental characteristics,
interactions, history, ecology, etc.)3. Designing monitoring systems (e.g., under climate change scenarios)4. Map genetic diversity onto biogeographic patterns/species distributions/landscape diversity5. Map biogeographic/phylogeographic patterns across multiple species6. Time series analyses of species’ distributions; analysis of coupling/decoupling of species’ ecological
nichs through time7. Developing scenarios of invasion and filling a potential distribution8. Discovery of new species (prediction of)9. Constrain of potential distributional areas to actual distributional areas10. Model validation11. Inference of physiological parameters from distributions or vice versa12. Evaluate dispersal capabilities13. Macroecological analysis
Conservation prioritization (complementarity, etc.) Analysis of beta-alpha-gamma diversity, etc. Other manifestations…
14. Predict densities of populations (persistence)15. Analysis of completeness of data sets (e.g., inventory completeness)16. Using known interactions to reconstruct systems (e.g., diseases)17. Overlay biotic patterns with human activity (e.g., land use)
Single species Multiple species
18. Evaluate utility of environmental surrogacy for representing biodiversity information19. Classification of biotic domains into a regionalization20. Evaluation of representativeness and bias in data sets (realm/range of inference)21. Detection of errors in data sets (quality control for taxonomy and geographic references in data sets )22. Model validation23. Model ecosystems (e.g., species composition) based on simulated/created data sets to evaluate
different techniques
