Description

R code for running the species distribution models and spatial prioritisation presented in the research article "Combining environmental DNA and visual surveys can inform conservation planning for coral reefs".
The marine spatial cost, eDNA survey, and visual census survey data are subject to controlled access to protect the novelty of collaborative papers still in preparation but can be requested from the corresponding authors.
