Increasing frequency of extreme fire weather in Canada with climate change
In Canadian forests, the majority of burned area occurs on a small number of days of
extreme fire weather. These days lie within the tail end of the distribution of fire weather, and …

Worldclim 2.1 versus Worldclim 1.4: Climatic niche and grid resolution affect between‐version mismatches in habitat suitability models predictions across Europe
The influence of climate on the distribution of taxa has been extensively investigated in the
last two decades through Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs). In this context, the Worldclim …

Presence-only species distribution models are sensitive to sample prevalence: Evaluating models using spatial prediction stability and accuracy metrics
Species distribution modelling (SDM) is an important tool for ecologists, but different
algorithms and different sampling strategies produce different results. Using virtual species …
