Mapping disease transmission risk is crucial in public and animal health for evidence based
decision-making. Ecology and epidemiology are highly related disciplines that may …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the occurrence of species.
Because SDMs generally use presence‐only data, validation of the predicted distribution …

virtualspecies is a freely available package for R designed to generate virtual species
distributions, a procedure increasingly used in ecology to improve species distribution …

Robust methods by which to generate virtual species are needed urgently in the emerging
field of distributional ecology to evaluate performance of techniques for modeling ecological …

Bats are the second-most species-rich mammal group numbering more than 1270 species
globally. Our knowledge of their geographic distributions and diversity patterns however is …

Background Invasive alien species represent a growing threat for natural systems, economy
and human health. Active surveillance and responses that readily suppress newly …

Trabajos recientes basados en modelación del nicho para estimar la distribución de las
especies han aportado evidencias de que la abundancia de una especie decrece conforme …

We describe a spatially explicit simulation experiment designed to assess relative impacts of
macroecological traits on patterns of biological diversification under changing environmental …

Aim The aim of this study was to test the link between climatic niche dynamics and species
diversification in Anolis on islands and on the mainland. We tested the hypotheses that …

Species-distribution models (SDM) are tools with potential to inform environmental-impact
studies (EIA). However, they are not always appropriate and may result in improper and …
