The use of joint models in biodiversity modeling

The appearance of joint species distribution models (JSDMs) in ecological research and applications is promising - JSDMs let us model potential habitat suitability of species not in isolation but including inter-specific associations. This project aims to evaluate the advantages and to identify potential pitfalls of using JSDMs in biodiversity research and applications.
