Species distribution research focuses on understanding the geographical range of various organisms and the factors that influence their distribution patterns. This area of study involves mapping the presence or absence of species in different environments, and examining how environmental variables such as temperature, precipitation, and habitat type impact where species are found. Researchers in this field use a combination of field surveys, remote sensing techniques, and statistical modeling to predict species distributions and assess the impacts of climate change, land use change, and other human activities on biodiversity. Understanding species distribution is important for conservation efforts, habitat management, and predicting the potential spread of invasive species.
