Ecological Monitoring of Spoon-billed Sandpiper Habitats
The Spoon-billed Sandpiper serves as a flagship species for coastal wetland conservation in China, highlighting the tension between infrastructure development and ecological protection.
MaxExp Optimizes Multispecies Predictions
MaxExp is a decision-driven framework for binarizing probabilistic species distribution models into presence-absence maps by maximizing evaluation metrics. It requires no calibration data and outperforms thresholding methods, especially under class imbalance. SSE provides a simpler alternative using expected species richness.
