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

Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

Species distribution modeling (SDM) is widely used in ecology and conservation. Currently,
the most available data for SDM are species presence‐only records (available through …

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 …

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

The increasing use of species distribution modeling (SDM) has raised new concerns
regarding the inaccuracies, misunderstanding, and misuses of this important tool. One 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 …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the occurrence of species.
Because SDMs generally use presence‐only data, validation of the predicted distribution …

Species data held in museum and herbaria, survey data and opportunistically observed data
are a substantial information resource. A key challenge in using these data is the uncertainty …

Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …
