Description: The niche model facility in the former portal used to be in the Actions panel.

A description of its functionality is below:

****
Create Niche Model:

This tools provides an integration between openModeller and the occurrence point data available within the portal.
Its main purpose is to demonstrate the integration of GBIF-mediated occurrence data with other applications like modelling tools.
Please be aware that the significance of the modelling result varies greatly with the selection of meaningful parameters, and also with volume, accuracy of georeferencing and geographical spread of the source data.
This integration takes the occurrence points provided by your search, submits these points and the layers selected to openModeller.
openModeller then generates a probability distribution using the Envelope Score Algorithm.

Trevor Booth explains: "I do think it was useful to have an integrated niche modeling system for preliminary analyses and also to interest the casual user in species distribution modeling."]]>
