2/5 Key features of #AquaX:
💠 Ensemble of 10 machine-learning models
💠 Explicit spatial uncertainty
💠 Incorporates ecological niches, functional groups, and expert-verified taxonomy
💠 Integrates data from #OBIS, #GBIF, #AquaMaps, #FishBase, #IUCN
1/5 #NewPaper: #AquaX, a next-generation platform for mapping global marine biodiversity! 🌊
Accurate species mapping is critical for conservation. AquaX builds on #Qquatics' #AquaMaps to provide cleaner, expert-validated data & improve predictions of present & future species distributions.
By combining advanced modelling with transparent uncertainty assessments, #AquaX will bring #speciesmapping to the next level & will support #marinebiodiversity research, conservation planning, & climate-informed decision-making, helping to mitigate #biodiversityloss. #speciesdistribution #aquamaps
🚨 #NEWPAPER presents #AquaX, a next-gen framework for global #marinebiodiversity mapping—ML ensembles, expert-validated data & climate projections. Led by Gabriel Reygondeau @univmiami.bsky.social & an int'l team incl. #Qquatics’ Kathleen Reyes & Nicolas Bailly.
