Species distribution models (SDMs) have proven valuable in filling gaps in our knowledge of
species occurrences. However, despite their broad applicability, SDMs exhibit critical …

Twenty years ago, the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) was formulated as a means to
link between different aspects of biodiversity and spatial patterns of spectral data (eg …

This editorial reports on a horizon scan exercise that was undertaken to identify new frontier
topics, new or emerging themes/concepts, or new philosophical questions of relevance to …

Global mapping of forest height is an extremely important task for estimating habitat quality
and modeling biodiversity. Recently, three global canopy height maps have been released …

Biodiversity data records contain inaccuracies and biases. To overcome this limitation and
establish robust geographic patterns, ecologists often curate records keeping those that are …

Habitat suitability models infer the geographical distribution of species using occurrence
data and environmental variables. While data on species presence are increasingly …

Aim Understanding the processes underlying the distribution of species through space and
time is fundamental in several research fields spanning from ecology to spatial …

The proliferation of open repositories offering georeferenced occurrences on biodiversity
has boosted the use of species distribution models (SDMs). However, the need of presence …

Many primate species are threatened by the pet trade, and rehabilitated monkeys require
suitable habitats for release back into the wild. The process of identifying suitable release …

High-flying insects that exploit tropospheric winds can disperse over far greater distances in
a single generation than species restricted to below-canopy flight. However, the ecological …
