Is there a correlation between abundance and environmental suitability derived from ecological niche modelling? A meta‐analysis

MM Weber, RD Stevens, JAF Diniz‐Filho… - Ecography, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
It is thought that species abundance is correlated with environmental suitability and that
environmental variables, scale, and type of model fitting can confound this relationship. We …

Habitat suitability estimated by niche models is largely unrelated to species abundance

TA Dallas, A Hastings - Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Data on species occurrences are far more common than data on species abundances.
However, a central goal of large‐scale ecology is to understand the spatial distribution of …

Modeled distribution shifts of North American birds over four decades based on suitable climate alone do not predict observed shifts
