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 …

Inexpensive and accessible sensors are accelerating data acquisition in animal ecology.
These technologies hold great potential for large-scale ecological understanding, but are …

Species distribution models (SDMs) constitute the most common class of models across
ecology, evolution and conservation. The advent of ready‐to‐use software packages and …

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 …

Biodiversity studies rely heavily on estimates of species' distributions often obtained through
ecological niche modelling. Numerous software packages exist that allow users to model …

We present new global maps of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification at an
unprecedented 1-km resolution for the present-day (1980–2016) and for projected future …

Chilgoza pine is an economically and ecologically important evergreen coniferous tree
species of the dry and rocky temperate zone, and a native of south Asia. This species is …

In recent years, the use of ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models
(SDMs) to explore the patterns and processes behind observed distribution of species has …

Demand for models in biodiversity assessments is rising, but which models are adequate for
the task? We propose a set of best-practice standards and detailed guidelines enabling …

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