AbstractSpecies distribution models (SDMs) are crucial tools for understanding and predicting biodiversity patterns, yet they often struggle with limited data, biased sampling, and complex species-environment relationships. Here I present NicheFlow, a novel foundation model for SDMs that leverages generative AI to address these challenges and advance our ability to model and predict species distributions across taxa and environments.

It is well know that many of the variables are correlated with each other, suggesting there is less than 19 independent dimensions of information in them. But how much information is there?
