The effects of small sample size and sample bias on threshold selection and accuracy assessment of species distribution models

WT Bean, R Stafford, JS Brashares - Ecography, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Species distribution models are used for a range of ecological and evolutionary questions,

The effect of sample size on the accuracy of species distribution models: considering both presences and pseudo‐absences or background sites

C Liu, G Newell, M White - Ecography, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Most high‐performing species distribution modelling techniques require both presences,
and either absences or pseudo‐absences or background points. In this paper, we explore …

Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations

J A. Lee‐Yaw, J L. McCune, S Pironon, S N. Sheth - Ecography, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

The effect of prevalence and its interaction with sample size on the reliability of species distribution models

A Jiménez-Valverde, J Lobo, J Hortal - Community Ecology, 2009 - akjournals.com
Prevalence (the presence/absence ratio in the training data) is commonly thought to
influence the reliability of the predictions of species distribution models. However, little is …
