We examine how different datasets, including georeferenced hardcopy maps of different
extents and georeferenced herbarium specimens (spanning the range from 100 to 85,000 …

Most high‐performing species distribution modelling techniques require both presences,
and either absences or pseudo‐absences or background points. In this paper, we explore …

Understanding species spatial occurrence patterns and their environmental dependence is
one of the fundamental goals in ecology and evolution. Often, occurrence models are built …

Species distribution modelling (SDM) is an important tool for ecologists, but different
algorithms and different sampling strategies produce different results. Using virtual species …

In spite of increasing application of presence‐only models in ecology and conservation and
the growing number of such models, little is known about the relative performance of …

An important decision in presence-only species distribution modeling is how to select
background (or pseudo-absence) localities for model parameterization. The selection of …

Species distribution modeling (SDM) is widely used in ecology and conservation. Currently,
the most available data for SDM are species presence‐only records (available through …

In the last decade, the application of predictive models of species distribution in ecology,
evolution, and conservation biology has increased dramatically. However, limited available …

Species distribution models are used for a range of ecological and evolutionary questions,
but often are constructed from few and/or biased species occurrence records. Recent work …

Joint species distribution models (JSDM s) account for biotic interactions and missing
environmental predictors in correlative species distribution models. Several different JSDM s …
