Last contribution! We propose a novel method for sampling bias correction by weighting observer kernel densities for individual species with the relative observers' contribution to the total number of focus species presences.

Species‐observer link and kernel density estimation of background points allow for sampling bias correction in bird species distribution models
Species distribution models (SDMs), broadly referring to both species distribution and ecological niche modelling frameworks, are widely used to predict habitat suitability. However, their performanc...
