great points, thanks for the feedback. Xiao - should we add a third level, such that A3.1 could be 'response type'? I can see some more use cases for that in other elements too...
@adamlilith Good point! Thank you for the suggestion. @cmerow I think "response type" could go to the model setup? like C7?
Great idea; I'll use it and advocate for using the list. I would suggest adding an item to specify the type of response of the model. As written, the checklist seems to assume binary responses (presence-absence or presence-background). Item (A3) "Basis of records" somewhat addresses this, but not directly. Options include: presence/absence, presence/background, presence/pseudoabsence (background sites chosen in a such a manner it's assumed they do not fall on a presence site), abundance, detection/non-detection, abundance index, proportion (e.g., from pollen cores), "other", and mixed (i.e., more than one of any of these).
