This document is an introduction to species distribution modeling with R. Species
distribution modeling (SDM) is also known under other names including envelope-modeling …

Plants sustain human life. Understanding geographic patterns of the diversity of species
used by people is thus essential for the sustainable management of plant resources. Here …

Despite their economic and environmental impacts, there have been relatively few attempts
to model the distribution of invasive ant species. In this study, the potential distribution of six …

We review the variety of existing modelling approaches applied to species habitat mapping
and we discuss issues arising from the availability and nature of sampled biological data …

ANUCLIM (Xu and Hutchinson, 2011) is a unique software package used to support the
spatial modelling and mapping of environmental and natural resources. It has been …

Prior to modeling the potential distribution of a species it is recommended to carry out
analyses to reduce errors in the model, especially those caused by the spatial …

Models of species' distributions and niches are frequently used to infer the importance of
range‐and niche‐defining variables. However, the degree to which these models can …

Most ecologists use statistical methods as their main analytical tools when analyzing data to
identify relationships between a response and a set of predictors; thus, they treat all …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict and study distributions of
species. Many different modeling methods and associated algorithms are used and continue …

Ecosystem services play a crucial role in sustaining human well-being and economic
viability. People benefit substantially from the delivery of ecosystem services, for which …
