Our aim is to model rare species (with few occurrences) but modelling the distribution of
species with few occurrence data and many predictor variables leads to model overfitting …

Up to now, global conservation priorities are far from incorporating megadiverse invertebrate
taxa. Thus, an important emerging field in biological conservation is how we might manage …

Background. Volunteers' participation in scientific research has increased in recent decades.
Citizen science (CS) data have been used in quantitative ecology to analyse species ranges …

Aim Many rare species are dispersal‐limited; their colonization capacity can be impacted by
land use and climate changes. Most ecological niche models predict the distribution of …

Presence-only models can aid conservation and management of threatened, elusive
species. We developed a Maxent model for the rare cerambycid beetle Rosalia longicorn …

Aim To determine the performance of different pseudo‐absence selection strategies on the
prediction of species‐distribution models after 30 years of regional climatic and land use …

One of the main challenges in biological conservation has been to understand species
distribution across space and time. Over the last decades, many diversity and conservation …

Rare species have restricted geographic ranges, habitat specialization, and/or small
population sizes. Datasets on rare species distribution usually have few observations …

Abstract The Mediterranean Red List assessment is a review of the conservation status at
regional level of approximately 6,000 species of animals and plants. This report summarizes …

High‐altitude insects are expected to be strongly affected by climate change because of
their limited range. Phytophagous species will be subject to further threats because of their …
