Hello Hyperniche users,
I came across this sent from some reserachers in the UK, and it seems
valauble to represent NPMR in this survey. If you can take a moment to
fill out this survey, that would be great!
Cheers,
Heather
Here is the text relevant to the survey
***********************************************************
Thuiller et al. (2009) suggest that our science is “intertwined with
technical innovation…” and how it is “dependent on the existence of
suitable software” (Thuiller et al. 2009, Ecography, 32, 369-373). We
are researching what software people use, andwhat they use it for.
We really want a broad sample of software users and software types, so
would like your group to be well represented. As users of MAXENT we
would love to hear what you think....
Please accept this invitation to take the (anonymous) research survey
on Species Distribution Modelling and Software. It takes only takes 5
to 15 minutes, just follow this link…

The survey is open until 1st of July, but please complete as soon as
possible! Your views and experiences are immensely valued!
We will publish aggregated results so the modelling community &
developers (everyone!) benefits from this research project. It is all
anonymous ( you can find the project and privacy information here
