“…Regarding forecasting, in various scientific fields (e.g., climatology, hydrology, and landslide risk management), it has been found that forecasts benefit from high frequency data (e.g., Arhab & Huang, 2023;Bozzano et al, 2018;Leyton & Fritsch, 2004;Liu & Han, 2013). However, in ecology the few studies that investigated how forecasting is affected by sampling frequency found that sampling more often could both improve and worsen forecasts (Derot et al, 2020;Wauchope et al, 2019).…”
