Can species distribution models really predict the expansion of invasive species?
Predictive studies are of paramount importance for biological invasions, one of the biggest
threats for biodiversity. To help and better prioritize management strategies, species …

Selecting predictors to maximize the transferability of species distribution models: Lessons from cross‐continental plant invasions
Aim Niche‐based species distribution models (SDMs) are commonly used to predict impacts
of global change on biodiversity, but the reliability of these predictions in space and time …

Species are not most abundant in the centre of their geographic range or climatic niche
The pervasive idea that species should be most abundant in the centre of their geographic
range or centre of their climatic niche is a key assumption in many existing ecological …
