Thrilled to share our new Ecography paper! 🌊🐟

We put species distribution models to the test during marine heatwaves and found that integrating diverse data types through joint-likelihood approaches makes forecasts more resilient under novel ocean conditions.

Data integration improves species distribution forecasts under novel ocean conditions
Accurate forecasts of species distributions in response to changing climate is essential for proactive management and conservation decision-making. However, species distribution models (SDMs) often h...
