A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

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 …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

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 …

Hutchinson's n‐dimensional hypervolume concept for the interpretation of niches as
geometric shapes has provided a foundation for research across different fields of ecology …

Using known occurrences of species and correlational modeling approaches has become a
common paradigm in broad-scale ecology and biogeography, yet important aspects of the …

Bioclimatic envelope models use associations between aspects of climate and species'
occurrences to estimate the conditions that are suitable to maintain viable populations. Once …

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 …
