Quantitative evaluations to optimize complexity have become standard for avoiding
overfitting of ecological niche models (ENMs) that estimate species' potential geographic …

In recent years, the use of ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models
(SDMs) to explore the patterns and processes behind observed distribution of species has …

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 …

Species distribution models (SDMs) constitute the most common class of models across
ecology, evolution and conservation. The advent of ready‐to‐use software packages and …

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 …

The ENMTools software package was introduced in 2008 as a platform for making
measurements on environmental niche models (ENMs, frequently referred to as species …

Invertebrates constitute the majority of animal species and are critical for ecosystem
functioning and services. Nonetheless, global invertebrate biodiversity patterns and their …

Demand for models in biodiversity assessments is rising, but which models are adequate for
the task? We propose a set of best-practice standards and detailed guidelines enabling …

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

Ecological niche models (ENMs) are widely used statistical methods to estimate various
types of species niches. After lecturing several editions of introductory courses on ENMs and …
