MInOSSE: A new method to reconstruct geographic ranges of fossil species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Methods in Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13423
Abstract: Estimating fossil species' geographic range is a major goal for paleobiologists. In the deep time, this is most commonly performed by using polygon‐based methods such as the minimum convex polygon (MCP) or the Alpha‐Hull. Unfortunately,… read more here.
