Abstract Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) techniques were originally developed in the
mid-1980s. In this century they are gaining increasing attention in the literature and in …

Increasing temperatures and drought risks through climate change are expected to have
several consequences for European forests. Adaptive strategies may include:(i) persistence …

Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely depending on the
specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus of each study. I synthesized …

Improving our understanding of species ranges under rapid climate change requires
application of our knowledge of the tolerance and adaptive capacity of populations to …

Maps of species' distributions or habitat suitability are required for many aspects of
environmental research, resource management and conservation planning. These include …

Aim To evaluate a suite of species distribution models for their utility as predictors of suitable
habitat and as tools for new population discovery of six rare plant species that have both …

Understanding species distributions and the factors limiting them is an important topic in
ecology and conservation, including in nature reserve selection and predicting climate …

Aim To assess the effect of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity on the potential
distribution of species under future climate changes. Trees may be adapted to specific …

Background Predicting species' potential geographical range by species distribution models
(SDMs) is central to understand their ecological requirements. However, the effects of using …
