Species distribution models (SDMs) use spatial environmental data to make inferences on
species' range limits and habitat suitability. Conceptually, these models aim to determine …

Recognition of the importance of intraspecific variation in ecological processes has been
growing, but empirical studies and models of global change have only begun to address this …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

The field of ecological niche modelling or species distribution modelling has seen enormous
activity and attention in recent years, in the light of exciting biological inferences that can be …

In the recent past, availability of large data sets of species presences has increased by
orders of magnitude. This, together with developments in geographical information systems …

Microclimatic variables are necessary for a wide range of pure and applied problems in
environmental science. In ecology, microclimatic conditions are prerequisites for modelling …

All organisms must adjust morphology, physiology and behavior as they go about their life
cycles. For vertebrates, including humans, these adjustments occur as daily routines and in …

We analyze the effects of changing patterns of thermal availability, in space and time, on the
performance of small ectotherms. We approach this problem by breaking it into a series of …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1041–1054 Abstract Two major approaches address the need to
predict species distributions in response to environmental changes. Correlative models …

Abstract Synopsis In 1967 Daniel Janzen published an influential paper titled “Why
Mountain Passes Are Higher in the Tropics.” Janzen derived a simple climatic-physiological …
