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 …

Predictive models are central to many scientific disciplines and vital for informing
management in a rapidly changing world. However, limited understanding of the accuracy …

The use of correlative ecological niche models has highly increased in the last decade.
Despite all literature and textbooks in this field, few practical guidelines exist on the correct …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

Joint species distribution modelling (JSDM) is a fast-developing field and promises to
revolutionise how data on ecological communities are analysed and interpreted. Written for …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …

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

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Recent studies have demonstrated a need for increased rigour in building and evaluating
ecological niche models (ENM s) based on presence‐only occurrence data. Two major …
