`Q-niche': topology-preserving niche hypervolumes built using a quantum mechanics modelling analogue.
Hutchinson's n-dimensional niche hypervolume underlies many ecological analyses, yet estimating hypervolumes from finite occurrence data remains challenging, particularly when niches contain non-convex structure such as separated regions or internal holes. Here, we introduce Q-niche, a quantum-mechanics-inspired algorithm for ecological hypervolume estimation. Using an inverse Schrodinger…
