Abstract:Haphazard and opportunistic species occurrence (PO) data are widely used in species distribution models (SDMs) instead of high-quality species data gathered using appropriate and structured sampling methods, which is expensive and often spatially limited. Despite their widespread use in ecology, PO data are prone to errors and uncertainties, such as imperfect detectability, positional imprecision, and spatial niche truncation, which make their use analytically challenging for effective and adaptive biodiversit… Show more
