Species distribution modeling (SDM: statistical and/or mechanistic approaches to the
assessment of range determinants and prediction of species occurrence) offers new …

Global climate changes during the Quaternary reveal much about broader evolutionary
effects of environmental change. Detailed regional studies reveal how evolutionary lineages …

Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …

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

The influence of climate on the distribution of taxa has been extensively investigated in the
last two decades through Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs). In this context, the Worldclim …

Aim Species distribution models (SDM s) are increasingly used to address numerous
questions in ecology, biogeography, conservation biology and evolution. Surprisingly, the …

Over the last decade, molecular studies carried out on the Australasian biota have revealed
a new world of organic structure that exists from submicroscopic to continental scale …

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 649–657 Abstract Paleoclimatic reconstructions coupled with
species distribution models and identification of extant spatial genetic structure have the …

The legacy of climatic changes during the Pleistocene glaciations allows inferences to be
made about the patterns and processes associated with range expansion/colonization …

Background The accurate delimitation of species is essential to numerous areas of
biological research. An unbiased assessment of the diversity, including the cryptic diversity …
