🦉 Biodiversity Monitoring: Survey Map (2D)

Interactive 2D survey map for designing a biodiversity monitoring programme: place camera traps, acoustic recorders and transect observers, watch animals move and get detected through a half-normal detection function, and compare observed richness, the Chao2 estimate and Shannon diversity with the hidden true community.
