The quantity and types of biodiversity data being collected have increased in recent years. If we are to model and monitor biodiversity effectively, we need to respect how different data sets were collected, and effectively integrate these data types together. The framework that has emerged to do this is based on a point process formulation, with individuals as points and their distribution as a realisation of a random field. We describe this formulation and how the process model for the actual distribution is linked to the data that is collected through observation models. The observation models describe the data collection process and its uncertainties and biases. We provide an example of using these methods to model species of Norwegian freshwater fish, which shows how integrated models can be adapted to the data we can collect. We summarise the modelling issues that arise and the approaches that could be taken to solve them.
