Assessing climatic suitability provides a good preliminary estimate of the invasive potential
of a species to inform risk assessment. We examined two approaches for bioclimatic …

Amphibian populations are threatened globally, and one of the hypotheses for these
declines is climate change. Species distribution models are frequently used to predict …

Climate change is driving shifts in the distribution of plants and animals, and prioritizing
management actions for such shifts is a necessary but technically difficult challenge. We …

Species conservation plans frequently rely on information that spans political and
administrative boundaries, especially when predictions are needed of future habitat under …

Species distribution estimates are often used to understand the niche of a species; however,
these are often based solely on climatic predictors. When the influences of biotic factors are …

We examined data comprising 1,028 successful and 967 failed introduction records for 596
species of alien reptiles and amphibians around the world to test for factors influencing …

Background Species distribution models are often used to characterize a species' native
range climate, so as to identify sites elsewhere in the world that may be climatically similar …

Globally, biodiversity is declining, and a major driver of this decline is climate change;
consequently, we need ways to evaluate the vulnerability of species to this change. We …

Climate matching identifies extralimital destinations that could be colonized by a potential
invasive species on the basis of similarity to climates found in the species' native range …

Shifts between native and alien climatic niches pose a major challenge for predicting
biological invasions. This is particularly true for insular species because geophysical …
