Abundance models improve spatial and temporal prioritization of conservation resources
Conservation prioritization requires knowledge about organism distribution and density. This
information is often inferred from models that estimate the probability of species occurrence …

Do ecological niche models accurately identify climatic determinants of species ranges?
Defining species' niches is central to understanding their distributions and is thus
fundamental to basic ecology and climate change projections. Ecological niche models …
