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

In the last two decades, interest in species distribution models (SDMs) of plants and animals
has grown dramatically. Recent advances in SDMs allow us to potentially forecast …

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

Flood risk map** and modeling is important to prevent urban flood damage. In this study,
a flood risk map was produced with limited hydrological and hydraulic data using two state …

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 …

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 …

Urban flood risk map** plays a decisive role in urban management and planning,
especially in reducing flood damages. In this study, a flood risk map was produced for …

Climate change is predicted to cause widespread declines in biodiversity, but these
predictions are derived from coarse-resolution climate models applied at global scales …

Climate change over the past∼ 30 years has produced numerous shifts in the distributions
and abundances of species 1, 2 and has been implicated in one species-level extinction 3 …

Modelling strategies for predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the natural
distribution of species have often focused on the characterization of a species' bioclimate …
