Recently, model-based data integration has emerged as a means to achieve this by combining datasets in ways that retain the strengths of each. We describe a flexible approach to data integration using point process models, which provide a convenient way to translate across ecological currencies. We highlight recent examples of large-scale ecological models based on data integration and outline the conceptual and technical challenges and opportunities that arise.}, year = {2020}, journal = {Trends in Ecology and Evolution}, volume = {35}, pages = {56-67, }, month = {01/2020}, isbn = {0169-5347}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534719302551}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2019.08.006}, }
