Applying Fuzzy Logic to Comparative Distribution Modelling: A Case Study with Two Sympatric Amphibians by A. Márcia Barbosa, Raimundo Real

“…The fuzzy union between individual models, representing favourability for the presence of any of the two species, was compared with another favourability model based on the presences of either or both of them. The fuzzy intersections between favourability for each species and the complementary of favourability for the other (corresponding to the logical operation “A and not B”) were compared with models of exclusive presence of one species versus the exclusive presence of the other. …”
