A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 365–377 Abstract Many studies in recent years have investigated
the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the …

MAXENT is now a common species distribution modeling (SDM) tool used by conservation
practitioners for predicting the distribution of a species from a set of records and …

Quercus infectoria and Quercus libani are two important species distributed across most of
the Kurdistan Region of Iraq's mountain ranges (KRI). They have significant ecological …

The use of species distribution models (SDM) is of increasing popularity when studying
biological invasions, eg to assess the impact of climate change on invasive species, to …

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

Precise modelling of the influence of climate change on Arabica coffee is limited; there are
no data available for indigenous populations of this species. In this study we model the …

We provide an overview of conceptual considerations in terminology related to ecological
niche modeling and species distribution modeling, two near-synonymous (but not quite) …

Probabilistic forecasts of species distribution and abundance require models that
accommodate the range of ecological data, including a joint distribution of multiple species …

Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the
most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems …
