In this video Thomas Etherington shows how to use the NLMpy Python package to create neutral landscape models. The video demonstrates how the paper’s Supporting Information documentation, Python scripts, and GIS data can be used to create a the example neutral landscape models that are shown in the paper.
Recognising that some ecologists may not be very familiar with Python, the authors have also created a video that provides some advice about choosing a suitable scientific distribution of Python, and demonstrates how to install the NLMpy package itself.
- Read Thomas Etherington, Penelope Holland and David O’Sullivan’s Methods in Ecology and Evolution article, NLMpy: a python software package for the creation of neutral landscape models within a general numerical framework.
