Species distribution models (SDM s) are used to inform a range of ecological,
biogeographical and conservation applications. However, users often underestimate the …

To conserve biodiversity, it is necessary to understand how species are distributed and
which aspects of the environment determine distributions. In large parts of the world and for …

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 …

Island biogeography theory posits that species richness increases with island size and
decreases with isolation. This logic underpins much conservation policy and regulation, with …

Aim Models of species niches and distributions have become invaluable to biogeographers
over the past decade, yet several outstanding methodological issues remain. Here we …

Ecological niche models represent key tools in biogeography but the effects of biased
sampling hinder their use. Here, we address the utility of two forms of filtering the calibration …

Across large parts of the world, wildlife has to coexist with human activity in highly modified
and fragmented landscapes. Combining concepts from population viability analysis and …

Aim To demonstrate that multi‐modelling methods have effectively been used to combine
static species distribution models (SDM), predicting the geographical pattern of suitable …

The interest in using Bayesian methods in ecology is increasing, however many ecologists
have difficulty with conducting the required analyses. McCarthy bridges that gap, using a …

Networks of urban green space can provide critical resources for wild bees, however it is
unclear which attributes of green spaces provide these resources, or how their management …
