[OSGeo Africa] MAXENT model for predicting the spread of invasives

[Celeste Dekker]

Maxent software for species habitat modeling
Most current version: 3.3.3k (see new features below). 

Use this site to download software based on the maximum-entropy approach for species habitat modeling.  This software takes as input a set of layers or environmental variables (such as elevation, precipitation, etc.), as well as a set of georeferenced occurrence locations, and produces a model of the range of the given species. 

Further description of this approach can be found in:

Good morning members! 

Has anyone used the MAXENT (maximum entropy) model in ArcGIS 10.1?

Could someone kindly provide me with a link?

Kind Regards,
Adarsh
