Due to its position between the highly distinct Oriental and Australasian biogeographical
realms, much effort has been spent demarcating associated separations and transitions in …

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 …

Summary 1 Species distribution models could bring manifold benefits across ecology, but
require careful testing to prove their reliability and guide users. Shortcomings in testing are …

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 …

In recent years, predictive habitat distribution models, derived by combining multivariate
statistical analyses with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, have been …

Summary 1 Two priorities for applied ecologists are to (i) maintain quantitative rigour with
minimal resources and (ii) ensure that multivariate results are readily understood by end …

The southern Iberian Peninsula is dominated by a savannah-like ecosystem, the montado,
which is a typically Mediterranean cultural adaptation to generally poor productive areas …

Aim To develop and validate a model for fine‐scale distribution of southern right whales
(Eubalaena australis) on their calving grounds, accounting for breeding status. Location Port …

Aim Wallacea, the vast oceanic boundary between the Oriental and Australian regions,
contains 122 true nectarivorous bird species. It is the contact zone of the Oriental sunbirds …

Large-bodied secondary cavity-nesters are constrained to use cavities of sufficient size to
permit access, while also selecting characteristics to reduce predation. However, no …
