CISO: Species distribution modelling Conditioned on Incomplete Species Observations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict species' geographic distributions, serving as critical tools for ecological research and conservation planning. Typically, SDMs relate species occurrences to environmental variables representing abiotic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and soil properties.
