3D ecological niche models outperform 2D in predicting coelacanth (Latimeria spp.) habitat by Emmaline Sheahan, Hannah Owens, Hannah Owens, Robert Guralnick, Gavin Naylor

“…We gauged each model’s success by how well it could predict L. menadoensis presences recorded from submersible observations.ResultsWhile the 2D model omitted 33% of occurrences at the most forgiving threshold, the 3D model successfully predicted all occurrences, regardless of threshold level.DiscussionIncorporating depth results in improved model accuracy when predicting coelacanth habitat, and projecting into 3 dimensions can give us insights as to where to target future sampling. This 3D modelling framework can help us better understand how marine species are distributed by depth and allow for more targeted conservation management.…”
