Ecography

Species distribution models (SDMs) help scientists monitor biodiversity by predicting where species are located based on environmental variables. However, many new tools designed for SDMs are becoming increasingly complex, and researchers often struggle with choosing the right statistical package. This challenge has been eased by a recent paper from an associate professor at Tohoku University. The paper introduces a meta-package called sdmverse, which catalogs available packages and provides handy visualizations to illustrate how they relate to one another.
