Wallace's line, Wallacea, and associated divides and areas: history of a tortuous tangle of ideas and labels
Due to its position between the highly distinct Oriental and Australasian biogeographical
realms, much effort has been spent demarcating associated separations and transitions in …

Threshold criteria for conversion of probability of species presence to either–or presence–absence
A Jiménez-Valverde, JM Lobo - Acta oecologica, 2007 - Elsevier
For many applications the continuous prediction afforded by species distribution modeling
must be converted to a map of presence or absence, so a threshold probability indicative of …

Spatial prediction of rufous bristlebird habitat in a coastal heathland: a GIS‐based approach
Summary 1 To develop a conservation management plan for a species, knowledge of its
distribution and spatial arrangement of preferred habitat is essential. This is a difficult task …
