Here we provide links to the tutorials of the “Modern concepts and methods in Macroecology and Biogeography” class. The tutorials are written as R markdown scripts which can be downloaded at our github site if interested. The tutorials contain chunks of code that can be run in R, as well as results and figures produced by R, annotations and exercises. Instructions on how to set up R and RStudio, to start a new project and install R packages will be given on the first day. If you wonder why using R, have a look here! For preparation please install the latest versions of the following programs and always install the R packages indicated at the beginning of each tutorial before the classes start.
