Evaluating Bayesian spatial methods for modelling species distributions with clumped and restricted occurrence data.

Statistical approaches for inferring the spatial distribution of taxa (Species Distribution Models, SDMs) commonly rely on available occurrence data, which is often clumped and geographically restricted. Although available SDM methods address some of these factors, they could be more directly and ac...
