Article about the Spectral Variation Hypothesis
The author of the article is Michele Torresani. Introduction to the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) The Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) was introduced two decades ago as a way to connect biodiversity and the spatial patterns observed in remote sensing data, specifically in terms of spectral heterogeneity (SH). The hypothesis suggests that areas with high SH…

New article by Vitezslav Moudry Optimising Occurrence Data in Species Distribution Models
Introduction to Species Distribution Models (SDMs) and Their Challenges Species distribution models (SDMs) are essential tools used to understand species distributions, ecological niches, and habitat suitability. Despite their broad applicability in ecology and conservation, SDMs often encounter significant challenges due to limitations in the available species occurrence data. These challenges include small sample sizes, positional…
