Species Distribution Modeling

Volttus geospatial through modeling techniques, such as MaxEnt, Random Forest and generalized additive models, allows you to obtain geospatial species distribution models (SDM), which allow you to predict the potential geographic distribution of a species based on environmental variables, providing tools to understand and map the ecological requirements and environmental conditions under which a species is likely to thrive and play a crucial role in informing conservation strategies, identifying suitable habitats for reintroduction or protection, and understanding the potential effects of climate change on species ranges, as well as help in making timely decisions in their businesses.


Volttus provides the possibility of implementing algorithms for Species distribution modeling (SDM) links the ecological theory of relationships between species and the environment with statistical learning methods and geospatial data to understand and predict the distributions of species and their habitats.
