This project is focus on the Ecological Niche Modeling (ENM) using different tools such as *kuenm* and *ntbox* R packages. I am working with **Luis Enrique Ángeles-González** from UNAM (Mexico). We are projecting climate change scenarios to assess the vulnerability of commercially important marine species, such as red octopus (*Octopus maya*) in Mexico and Pacific chub mackerel (*Scomber japonicus*) in Peru.
This project is focus on the Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) of pelagic species. I am working applying a Hierarchical Bayesian models (HBM) to incorporate the spatiotemporal correlation, which can improve both the models and predictions of the species distribution pattern than traditional SDMs methods. We are using a large time series fishery-dependent database to predict the habitat distribution of different pelagic species in the northern Peruvian Current system.
