Information about the distribution of a study object (eg, species or habitat) is essential in face
of increasing pressure from land or sea use, and climate change. Distribution models are …

In 2001, a workshop focused on the use of generalized linear models (GLM: McCullagh and
Nelder, 1989) and generalized additive models (GAM: Hastie and Tibshirani, 1986, 1990) …

Species distribution modelling has its origin in the late 1970s when computing capacity was
limited. Early work in the field concentrated mostly on the development of methods to model …

Many different models can be built to explain the distributions of species. Often there is no
single model that is clearly better than the alternatives, and this leads to uncertainty over …

Species' potential distribution modelling is the process of building a representation of the
fundamental ecological requirements for a species and extrapolating these requirements …

Correlative species distribution models are becoming commonplace in the scientific
literature and public outreach products, displaying locations, abundance, or suitable …

Summary 1 Species distribution models could bring manifold benefits across ecology, but
require careful testing to prove their reliability and guide users. Shortcomings in testing are …

Distribution models are used to predict the likelihood of occurrence or abundance of a
species at locations where census data are not available. An integral part of modelling is the …

Motivated by the need to solve ecological problems (climate change, habitat fragmentation
and biological invasions), there has been increasing interest in species distribution models …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly being used to address a diverse range
of applied and theoretical questions (Guisan and Thuiller 2005, Jeschke and Strayer 2008) …
