Positional errors in species distribution modelling are not overcome by the coarser grains of analysis
Original language description
The performance of species distribution models is known to be affected by analysis grain and positional error of species occurrences. Coarsening of the analysis grain has been suggested to compensate for positional errors. Nevertheless, this way of dealing with positional errors has never been thoroughly tested. With increasing use of finescale environmental data in SDMs, it is important to test this assumption. Models using finescale environmental data are more likely to be negatively affected by positional error as the inaccurate occurrences might easier end up in unsuitable environment. This can result in inappropriate conservation actions. Here, we examined the tradeoffs between positional error and analysis grain and provide recommendations for best practice. We generated narrow niche virtual species using environmental variables derived from LiDAR point clouds at 5 x 5 m finescale. We simulated the positional error in the range of 5 m to 99 m and evaluated the effects of several spatial grai
