The application of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies
provides powerful tools when used to investigate wildlife and its habitat for an analysis or …

Amongst many ongoing initiatives to preserve biodiversity, the Millennium Ecosystem
Assessment again shows the importance to slow down the loss of biological diversity …

Biodiversity is essential to healthy ecosystem function, influencing productivity and
resilience to disturbance. Biodiversity loss endangers essential ecosystem services and …

Habitat suitability models can be generated using methods requiring information on species
presence or species presence and absence. Knowledge of the predictive performance of …

Aim Various statistical techniques have been used to model species probabilities of
occurrence in response to environmental conditions. This paper provides a comprehensive …

Summary 1 Many species are adversely affected by human activities at large spatial scales
and their conservation requires detailed information on distributions. Intensive ground …

Summary 1 Spatial autocorrelation is an important source of bias in most spatial analyses.
We explored the bias introduced by spatial autocorrelation on the explanatory and predictive …

The broad‐scale factors that limit the species ranges of ticks have not been definitively
established. I used environmental data covering the whole of mainland Africa and a …

We present a correlative modelling technique that uses locality records (associated with
species presence) and a set of predictor variables to produce a statistically justifiable …

Habitat preference of eagle owls Bubo bubo were examined through comparing habitat
composition around 51 occupied cliffs and 36 non‐occupied cliffs in Alicante (E Spain). We …
