Berkeley Biogeography 2020
This is a Zoom lab for a U.C. Berkeley lab exercise in historical biogeography, conducted on Friday, November 6, 2020.
First, there will be a lecture on the basics of historical biogeography.
Second, there will be a live walkthrough of an example BioGeoBEARS analysis in R. To run this script, all you have to do is:
- Get a free RStudio Cloud account (e.g. with gmail) from https://rstudio.cloud/
- Login and open a new project
- Copy-and-paste from the script into the command window. Do this chunk-by-chunk, seeing what happens.
I would recommend that you watch me do the walkthrough, then do it yourself and answer the multiple-choice questions (whether or not those questions are formally assigned is up to your TAs).
