Evaluating expert‐based habitat suitability information of terrestrial mammals with GPS‐tracking data

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1526-1541, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert‐based information is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. The increasing availability of GPS tracking data offers opportunities to evaluate and supplement expert‐based information with
