How to cite: Link the repository in your method section as github.com/soltislab/BotanyENMWorkshops. For example "Models were developed for each species following avaliable scripts (github.com/soltislab/BotanyENMWorkshops)." Note, this workshop is related to another repository and an R package, which is updated outside of this workshop. This workshop is often done in conjuction with BiotaPhy, therefore our workshop repository contains additional presentation/demos/ect that are not included in the other.
