Species distributionsBiodiversity distribution data1
Spatial (static) patterns of biodiversity

Manual pre-processing of data2

• In the GUI, setups are included in “projects”• A minimum setup requires
• Define a project (potentially several variants/runs)• Features/species list• A set of raster maps: one for each feature in the list• Settings definition (if empty, defaults are used)
3 INPUT: Zonation setup
6
• Biodiversity feature raster• Example: .tif, .img or .asc file; standard GIS formats
as supported by GDAL (http://www.gdal.org/)• Raster showing the species occurrences and the
• Biodiversity feature (e.g. species) list file• text file, frequently with extension .spp for distinction • List of all those biodiversity feature raster map files
included in the analysis
• Trick: same map can entered multiple times for connectivity, retention etc. analyses
• More details about files, later
INPUT: features/species list file (.spp)4

• Our species rasters as figures: tutorial_input/species_maps_jpg
• 120*140 km2 region in Hunter Valley, eastern Australia
• Courtesy of Dr. Brendan Wintle, University of Melbourne, and Hunter Region Organization of Councils (HROC)
Tutorial: so... let’s do it!
Wintle, BA, Elith, J, Potts, JM. 2005. Fauna habitat modelling and mapping: A review and case study in the Lower Hunter Central Coast region of NSW. Austral Ecology, 30(7): 719-738.
• Open Zonation GUI (zig3gui.exe) • Open project: do_zig3.bat
• It uses:• Features list file: splist.spp• Settings file: set.dat
Basic core-area Zonation

Feature raster mapsSpecies weightsOther parameters (onlyneeded for more complex analyses)
Setup files: features/species list

Setup files: settings (.dat)
If empty,defaults are used

Project: all the pieces together
Setup files: Project file (.bat)

• The .spp, .dat and .bat files are actually text files that can be edited with any text editor, including notapad. The .spp and .dat extensions have been used for distinction. The .bat is the extension of a dos/windows batch command file.
Note about .spp, .dat and .bat files:
23 Explore settings and input files in the project tree
Right-click on files to edit
Expand settings and files included in an instance/setup
24
• Prefix of names: fourth parameter to zig3.exe• Priority ranking map (raster and image: .jpg)• .curves.txt performance (representation) of each
feature during the cell removal • .run.info.txt keeps track of analyses, files and
settings (details how the software runs)
• .rank.asc, .prop.asc, .wrscr.asc, and others for post-processing in GIS
Output files
25
• Open project do_w.bat• Open features list file splist.spp (right-click -> Edit)
Example: change species weights
Change weights, save and re-run
26
• Open project do_ds.bat (then right-click -> Edit)
Example: distribution smoothing
Distribution smoothing: ON Factor to multiply feature-specific (dispersal) parameters
27
Multiple runs in a same project
• Open project do_multiple.bat
You can use the tutorial files as templates for your own projects
