Bioclimatic envelope models use associations between aspects of climate and species'
occurrences to estimate the conditions that are suitable to maintain viable populations. Once …

Modelling strategies for predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the natural
distribution of species have often focused on the characterization of a species' bioclimate …

Bioclimate envelope models are widely used to predict the potential distribution of species
under climate change, but they are conceptually also suitable to match policies and …

Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using
single-species bioclimatic 'envelope'models. Such models are a special case of species …

Effective application of species distribution models requires some knowledge concerning
the accuracy of model predictions. Yet very few studies have attempted to systematically …

Bioclimatic models (also known as envelope models or, more broadly, ecological niche
models or species distribution models) are used to predict geographic ranges of organisms …

In a recent issue of Global Ecology and Biogeo-graphy, Pearson & Dawson (2003) provided
an informative review of the use of bioclimate envelope models (BEM) for predicting future …

We welcome the informative contribution from Hampe (2004) to what is an ongoing and
important debate. Indeed, the importance of assessing the usefulness of the BEM approach …

Global bioclimatic datasets are being widely used in ecological research to estimate the
potential distribution of species using Climate Envelope Models (CEMs). These datasets are …

Bioclimatic models are widely used tools for assessing potential responses of species to
climate change. One commonly used model is BIOCLIM, which summarises up to 35 climatic …
