Honestly, I haven’t used Habitat Quality much myself so don’t have wisdom about its usage to share. But I can point you to a study that was done by colleagues at WWF, which used habitat quality to look at tiger habitat, including doing calibration against observations:

Bhagabati et al. 2014, Ecosystem services reinforce Sumatran tiger conservation in land use plans

There may be others too, @Lara, it could be useful to [search through our publications database](https://naturalcapitalproject.stanford.edu/publications).
