a brief tutorial on running Maxent in R

[Francisco Rodriguez Sanchez]

Hi,

I recently came across this paper and tutorial that explains the whole
process of fitting Maxent models in R. This one is based on dismo --
note there are several other approaches out there (maxnet, ENMeval,
zoon, Wallace, enmtools, etc). As many questions in this forum usually
relate to R, I thought some people might find it useful.

Paco, thanks for bringing this to our attention. The Github tutorial in the supplementary info looks a little less complex than the dismo vignette, and perhaps more accessible. I like that the authors made some functions to make changing Maxent parameters in dismo easier.
