The integrated species distribution model database (iSDMdb) is a spatial, descriptive database of predicted sites in a species’ predicted range, derived from SDM results, that contains additional data fields that synthesise and summarise SDM predictions and uncertainty, potential human impacts, restoration features, novel preferences in novel spaces, and management priorities. Data fields are generated using a wide range of assessments outside traditional SDM procedures, resulting in an enhanced, practical, and accessible decision-making database to guide management.
In this Methods in Ecology and Evolution article, an iSDMdb was created using the example of the New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri). Enclosed are the R scripts and HTML versions of Appendix S1-S3, S4-S5, and S8, and the summary results of this case study in Appendix S7. Further information on the iSDMdb structure and this case study species can be found at https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13736.
