Species distribution models (SDM s) are used to inform a range of ecological,
biogeographical and conservation applications. However, users often underestimate the …

To conserve biodiversity, it is necessary to understand how species are distributed and
which aspects of the environment determine distributions. In large parts of the world and for …

Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …

Aim This study compares the direct, macroecological approach (MEM) for modelling species
richness (SR) with the more recent approach of stacking predictions from individual species …

Accurate knowledge of species occurrence is fundamental to a wide variety of ecological,
evolutionary and conservation applications. Assessing the presence or absence of species …

India is one of the 12 mega biodiversity countries of the world, which represents 11% of
world's flora in about 2.4% of global land mass. Approximately 28% of the total Indian flora …

Aim Climatic niche modelling of species and community distributions implicitly assumes
strong and constant climatic determinism across geographical space. We tested this …

We evaluated the relevance of threshold selection in species distribution models on the
delimitation of areas of endemism, using as case study the North American mammals. We …

Biological records are one of the most important sources of data for a large number of
research areas. For example, their application has made valuable contributions to climate …

Detailed and reliable information about the spatial distribution of species provides critical
information for effective conservation planning. In Victoria, Australia, this responsibility is …
