ERROR consnet

[Maria Alejandra Pinzon Suarez]

Hi all,

I am using ConsNet and MaxEnt in my master thesis to prioritize areas
for conservation in Colombia. I am using as a surrogates 112 anuran
species, which distribution i got from MaxEnt. Then, I used the
programm developed by Fuller to convert the maxent outputs in a
representation file for Consnet. When i try to load the problem, all
the files load successfully but at the end there is a problem reading
one of the coordinates, this is what the programm showed me

missed latitude grid point [cellID 59368][latitude value: 6.98976,
expected: 15.40473]
java.lang.IllegalStateException: missed latitude grid point [cellID
59368][latitude value: 6.98976, expected: 15.40473]

I know i cant changed this latitude cause it will fall out of my study
area, i dont know why the programm expected that coordinate. I guess
there is a problem with my representation file, maybe cause it doesnt
have the rows and the columns, therefore ConsNet cant build the grid.
I really dont know. I tried to load the problem without the excluded
and included cells files but it also showed the same error.

Therefore, I wanted to ask you if this problem has happened before and
you might know the solution. This is what appears in the black box :)

Hi Maria,

I think Trevon's program creates input files for a much older version
of ConsNet (long before the Java version). The number of columns is
different, so ConsNet may be reading the wrong column for the x and y
coordinates.

I have posted a conversion utility (along with a manual) that we use
in our lab. The name of the conversion utility is Maxent2Consnet.
There are instructions included with the program.

Please visit:

ConsNet homepage: http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~consbio/Cons/consnet_home.html
conversion utility: http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~consbio/Cons/maxcon.zip

For reference, ConsNet is complaining that the grid is mis-aligned at
cell 59368. If you see these errors in the future, I would try the
following things:

1) Use Maxent2ConsNet, it is very good at keeping the data lined up.
2) Double check that you have the correct number of columns in your
input file.
3) Check the grid spacing defined in the first row of the input file.
4) Look at the row for cell 59368 to see if it is unusual in any way.

Hope that helps.

Michael
