Geographic profiling is a tool used in criminology to identify an offender's residences by using the locations of the linked crimes. This is a tool used by police forces and investigative agencies around the world.
Recent studies in a series of papers made by Dr Steven Le Comber from Queen Mary’s School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, has shown that Geographic profiling can be used as an important tool in ecology. An example is to predict the the invasiveness of species and the spread of its disease.
How can this tool be utilized and be used in creating a major breakthrough in the field of ecology? What are its effects on the work of ecologists?

we used it mainly with biological invasions. The important thing is that You have a database of georeferentiated data. If so we can also discuss it together
