The redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus; hereafter redclaw), native to northern
Australia and southern New Guinea, is among the largest freshwater decapods. It matures …

Vector-borne diseases are on the rise globally. As the consequences of climate change are
becoming evident, climate-based models of disease risk are of growing importance. Here …

Despite the looming land scarcity for agriculture, cropland abandonment is widespread
globally. Abandoned cropland can be reused to support food security and climate change …

Ecological niche models are widely used in ecology and biogeography. Maxent is one of the
most frequently used niche modeling tools, and many studies have aimed to optimize its …

Aim Species distribution modelling, a family of statistical methods that predicts species
distributions from a set of occurrences and environmental predictors, is now routinely …

Balancing model complexity is a key challenge of modern computational ecology,
particularly so since the spread of machine learning algorithms. Species distribution models …

Abstract Aim Ecological niche models (ENMs) are widely used to address urgent real‐world
problems such as climate change effects or invasive species; however, the generality of …

Predicting suitable distribution is an effective way to guide the introduction and cultivation of
a species. To explore the climatic suitability of Zanthoxylum armatum, the maximum entropy …

There is an urgent need for more ecologically realistic models for better predicting the effects
of climate change on species' potential geographic distributions. Here we build ecological …

Members of Haloxylon are unique key species in the deserts of Central Asia (including
Soviet Central Asia (SCA) and Xinjiang, China (XJ)). The region is a hotspot of global …
