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 …

Conservation science depends on an accurate understanding of what's happening in a
given ecosystem. How many species live there? What is the makeup of the population? How …

The ever-increasing human footprint even in very remote places on Earth has inspired
efforts to document biodiversity vigorously in case organisms go extinct. However, the data …

Simple Summary Costa Rica is near malaria elimination. However, sporadic outbreaks still
occur, and while control strategies have been focused on delivering efficient treatments for …

Aim Species distribution maps are essential for assessing extinction risk and guiding
conservation efforts. However, most come sourced as expert‐drawn range maps with known …

Stacking is the process of overlaying inferred species potential distributions for multiple
species based on outputs of bioclimatic envelope models (BEMs). The approach can be …

Abstract Changes in the distribution of a species can be used to as a metric of conservation
status and to identify the loss or gain of isolated populations. This mapping process is a …

Complex distribution data can be summarized by grouping species with similar or
overlapping distributions to unravel spatial patterns and separate trends (eg, of habitat loss) …

Understanding and mitigating the effects of anthropogenic climate change on species
distributions requires the ability to track range shifts over time. This is particularly true for …
