Integrating LiDAR and ecological metrics to quantify habitat suitability for the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)

Understanding habitat selection and population dynamics is critical for the conservation of the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), a freshwater species endemic to eastern Australia. This study integrated LiDAR-based habitat modelling, radio-tracking, and ecological assessments to examine habitat s...
