Ecological niche models and species distribution models are used in many fields of science.
Despite their popularity, only recently have important aspects of the modeling process like …

The extent to which species can balance out the loss of suitable habitats due to climate
warming by shifting their ranges is an area of controversy. Here, we assess whether highly …

Correlational ecological niche models have seen intensive use and exploration as a means
of estimating the limits of actual and potential geographic distributions of species, yet their …

Place-prioritization analyses are a means by which researchers can translate information on
the geographic distributions of species into quantitative prioritizations of areas for …

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) and species distribution modeling (SDM) are sets of tools
that allow the estimation of distributional areas on the basis of establishing relationships …

Simple, single‐species approaches in distributional ecology leave open questions of
possible roles of biotic interactions. We sought to understand impacts of climate change on …

Detailed spatio‐temporal information about geographic distributions of species is critical for
biodiversity analyses in conservation and planning. Traditional correlative modelling …

Context Large carnivores are crucial to ecosystem functioning, as they enhance the
biodiversity of the native communities in which they live. However, most large carnivores are …

Understanding the factors underlying bird invasions is crucial for their management. Here,
the invasion processes of Mexico by the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and the …

Aim Species distributions are altered by climate change, resulting in changes in community
composition. How communities are changing with climate is important for understanding the …
