Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using
single-species bioclimatic 'envelope'models. Such models are a special case of species …

In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Maps of species' distributions or habitat suitability are required for many aspects of
environmental research, resource management and conservation planning. These include …

Transforming the results of species distribution modelling from probabilities of or suitabilities
for species occurrence to presences/absences needs a specific threshold. Even though …

The concerns over land use/land cover (LULC) change have emerged on the global stage
due to the realisation that changes occurring on the land surface also influence climate …

An important decision in presence-only species distribution modeling is how to select
background (or pseudo-absence) localities for model parameterization. The selection of …

Summary 1 Statistical modelling is often used to relate sparse biological survey data to
remotely derived environmental predictors, thereby providing a basis for predictively …

A modelling framework for studying the combined effects of climate and land‐cover changes
on the distribution of species is presented. The model integrates land‐cover data into a …

The increased availability of spatial data and methodological developments in species
distribution modelling has lead to concurrent advances in phylogeography, broadening the …
