Our models identify combinations of environmental parameters favorable to a species and determine the location of its suitable habitats. Projections can be made for the past, present and future, according to different climate scenarios.
Assessing the impact of climate change
Our models project changes in animal and plant species distributions based on environmental and climate data. As many species are likely to see their biogeographies affected by climate change, these projections are essential in order to anticipate habitat shifts.

Detecting high-risk invasion zones
The frequency of species invasions and their ecological and economic consequences are constantly increasing. Our models determine the areas most likely to witness the establishment of invasive species, thus enabling targeted prevention and control efforts.
Natural resource management
By identifying the location of habitats favorable to a species, our models guide the sustainable management of natural resources by highlighting priority areas for conservation or exploitation.

Biodiversity assessment
Biogeographic projections reveal places of high biodiversity. Identifying these areas helps prioritise areas for protection, ensuring that critical habitats and species are the focus of targeted conservation efforts.
Disease tracking
Our models map areas where disease vectors, such as mosquitoes, can thrive and help target regions at high risk of spread. They thus contribute to the prevention and targeted control of diseases, by improving the allocation of resources and intervention strategies.

Reintroduction optimisation
Our spatial distribution models help plan species reintroduction efforts to ensure released individuals have the best chance to thrive. This targeted approach helps increase survival rates and supports sustainable population recovery of species in appropriate environments.
