An ecological mobile system implemented on Amazon forest: Challenges and approaches

Abstract

The ecological niche distribution modeling uses known data about the presence of species to predict the probability to the specie survive on a specific area. The data collection is made in field and this kind of system needs data reliable enough. This paper analyses the viability of a mobile system that enables the distribution modeling to run on a smart phone and shows the challenges to put this system in use on the middle of the Amazon forest.
