Estimating actual and potential areas of distribution of species via ecological niche modeling
has become a very active field of research, yet important conceptual issues in this field …

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is used widely to study species' geographic distributions.
ENM applications frequently involve transferring models calibrated with environmental data …

Modeling approaches that relate known occurrences of species to landscape features to
discover ecological properties and predict geographic occurrences have seen extensive …

This study employs spatial filtering of occurrence data with the aim of reducing overfitting to
sampling bias in ecological niche models (ENMs). Sampling bias in geographic space leads …

Abstract Model complexity in ecological niche modelling has been recently considered as
an important issue that might affect model performance. New methodological developments …

The ENMTools software package was introduced in 2008 as a platform for making
measurements on environmental niche models (ENMs, frequently referred to as species …

We compared predictive success in two common algorithms for modeling species'
ecological niches, GARP and Maxent, in a situation that challenged the algorithms to be …
