How does a ground-dwelling bird choose where to display? Our study shows that visibility of the surrounding landscape (viewshed) is a key factor shaping display site selection. A spatially explicit view of animal behaviour academic.oup.com/beheco/artic... #BehavioralEcology #Landscape

In complex landscapes, image correction is not enough: without high-quality in situ data, supervised classification of LULC and vegetation confuses topography with ecology. Good training data remains the cornerstone of reliable satellite-based mapping 🛰️🌲🌳📉

Do models really tell us where populations perform well, or just whether species occur? We tested SDMs against demographic data (breeding success) using Great Bustard as a case study. Results: occurrence ≠ fitness 👉 Diversity & Distributions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111 #Ecology #Life
