Say I'm a near-retired guy and I'm interested in looking into the use of iNaturalist observations for species range documentation/prediction. I have used Arcmap, Erdas IMAGINE, and eCognition extensively, but no longer have access to those licenses. I'm fairly fluent (marginally fluent?) in qgis, gdal, r, grass, saga, python, etc. Are there some references around that can direct my interests in a productive direction? I'm particularly interested in the handling of the absence of negative observations (nobody reporting what they didn't see), and the lack of reported effort (can't tell how long the observer was in appropriate habitat and cognizant of the target group). I know there is a wide range of literature on species habitat prediction/suitability. Is there one in particular that addresses data similar to that available on iNaturalist (or ideally, actually using iNaturalist data).
Sorry about the vague question, it just seems like iNaturalist is unique in its dataset, and I'd like to harvest meaningfully.

Important additional information to make presence/absence maps more meaningful is a measure of the effort that goes into the observation (time, method, specific search for target etc)
