CLIMEX and DYMEX Tutorials
24 January, 2006
More than 460 pages of illustrated tutorials are now available for CLIMEX and DYMEX. These new tutorials are an excellent way of learning about biological Modeling with DYMEX and CLIMEX.
CLIMEX and DYMEX are the award winning biological modeling applications from CSIRO Entomology.
CLIMEX predicts the risk of the introduction and potential distribution of non-native invasive species. CLIMEX uses climate information and knowledge about the biology and distribution of a particular species in its original habitat to predict the species' distribution and risk of spreading to non-native habitats. CLIMEX can then also be used to identify possible collection and release sites for biological control agents.
Climate is one of the major factors limiting the distribution of plants and cold-blooded animals. CLIMEX can be used to predict the short and long term distribution of species' in their native and non-native habitats as climate changes.
DYMEX is a modular modelling package that allows the user to develop and run deterministic population models of biological organisms rapidly. The models produced with DYMEX help to summarise your understanding of an organism’s population dynamics, identify gaps in knowledge, and rapidly evaluate management options.
DYMEX helps you model natural systems.
The product tutorials for CLIMEX and DYMEX have been written by the scientists who have been developing and using the software since 1985. These tutorials are an excellent introduction to the software for new users.
