Context Landscape ecologists have long realized the importance of scale when studying
spatial patterns and the need for a science of scaling. Remotely sensed data, a key …

The use of correlative ecological niche models has highly increased in the last decade.
Despite all literature and textbooks in this field, few practical guidelines exist on the correct …

There is a lack of guidance on the choice of the spatial grain of predictor and response
variables in species distribution models (SDM). This review summarizes the current state of …

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

BACKGROUND The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera:

Background Estimates of the geographical distribution of Culex mosquitoes in the Americas
have been limited to state and provincial levels in the United States and Canada and based …

Species distribution models, also known as ecological niche models or habitat suitability
models, have become commonplace for addressing fundamental and applied biodiversity …

Predictions from species distribution models (SDMs) are commonly used in support of
environmental decision-making to explore potential impacts of climate change on …

The performance of species distribution models (SDMs) is known to be affected by analysis
grain and positional error of species occurrences. Coarsening of the analysis grain has …

Complex biotic networks of invaders and their new environments pose immense challenges
for researchers aiming to predict current and future occupancy of introduced species. This …
