Given the importance of knowledge of species distribution for conservation and climate
change management, continuous and progressive evaluation of the statistical models …

Bioclimatic models (also known as envelope models or, more broadly, ecological niche
models or species distribution models) are used to predict geographic ranges of organisms …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …

Maps of species' distributions or habitat suitability are required for many aspects of
environmental research, resource management and conservation planning. These include …

With the rise of new powerful statistical techniques and GIS tools, the development of
predictive habitat distribution models has rapidly increased in ecology. Such models are …

Neglect of ecological knowledge is a limiting factor in the use of statistical modelling to
predict species distribution. Three components are needed for statistical modelling, an …

Aim Various statistical techniques have been used to model species probabilities of
occurrence in response to environmental conditions. This paper provides a comprehensive …

The rapidly increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases may lead to
significant changes in regional and seasonal climate patterns. Such changes can strongly …

Identification of areas containing high biological diversity ('hotspots') from species presence-
only data has become increasingly important in species and ecosystem management when …

Habitat evaluation procedures are used to quantify the value of land as habitat for a species.
They result in maps of species habitats that are useful for applications involving estimation of …
