Global Ectotherm Life History Hindcaster (1949-2021)

Note that microclimate calculations should take about 60 seconds, ectotherm/DEB calculations about 5-20 seconds

Video instructions These calculations are made using the microclimate model of NicheMapR driven by the NCEP reanalysis (1949-2019) or the ERA5 reanalysis (2000-2021) meteorological grids via integration with the microclima package, and the ectotherm/Dynamic Energy Budget model of NicheMapR, drawing from the AmP collection of DEB parameters as of May 2025 (6,000 species).
