Niche breadth is a unifying concept spanning diverse aspects of ecology, evolution, and
conservation biology. Niche breadth usually refers to the diversity of resources used or …

The effects of climate change on biodiversity are increasingly well documented, and many
methods have been developed to assess species' vulnerability to climatic changes, both …

Balancing model complexity is a key challenge of modern computational ecology,
particularly so since the spread of machine learning algorithms. Species distribution models …

Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely depending on the
specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus of each study. I synthesized …

Species distribution models are usually evaluated with cross‐validation. In this procedure
evaluation statistics are computed from model predictions for sites of presence and absence …

Increasing concern about the impacts of global warming on biodiversity has stimulated
extensive discussion, but methods to translate broad-scale shifts in climate into direct …

Birds are among the most widely studied organisms on earth and represent an important
indicator group for learning about the effects of climate change–particularly in regard to the …

Given the rate of projected environmental change for the 21st century, urgent adaptation and
mitigation measures are required to slow down the on-going erosion of biodiversity. Even …

We review seven Arctic and four subarctic marine mammal species, their habitat
requirements, and evidence for biological and demographic responses to climate change …

The Torreya Guardians are trying to save the Florida torreya (Torreya taxifolia Arn.) from
