Hello I'm currently planning to write my undergraduate thesis about mapping animal habitat suitability using Maxent (I'm planning to use elephant or bear as the topic) and I'm really interested in animal conservation. May I know maybe some literature book, research, guide, or video that can help me to understand more about the Maxent algorithm? Since I'm really new in this field and never learn how to use the application in my major. Thanks!
Maxent give useful results in case of narrow range of distribution therefore i suggest try to use some other species as model
Sachin Kumar thank you! but do you have any reading recommendation about it?
I would recommend starting with the resources provided by Phillips. The stand alone maxent package is also available and from my experience is intuitive to use. Maxent continues to perform well with presence only data due to its determination and use of absences (this information is covered in the resources and sounds like it is what you are interested in). Follow the link. Also be aware currently there is a push for ensemble algorithms for publications which may be worth exploring.
