Module part 3: using ecological niche models in MaxEnt to understand future extirpations. In the third part of the module, students learn the basic principles of niche modeling (a). They use MaxEnt to generate past, present, and future ecological niche models (b) for the focal species based on past and present museum localities as well as multiple emissions scenarios for future climatic regimes (c). An example of actual module output generated by students is shown in (b), which displays an example ecological niche module for T. alpinus
