Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of
these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature …

Reporting specific modelling methods and metadata is essential to the reproducibility of
ecological studies, yet guidelines rarely exist regarding what information should be noted …

Biodiversity studies rely heavily on estimates of species' distributions often obtained through
ecological niche modelling. Numerous software packages exist that allow users to model …

Ecological niche models are widely used in ecology and biogeography. Maxent is one of the
most frequently used niche modeling tools, and many studies have aimed to optimize its …

The aim of the ecospat package is to make available novel tools and methods to support
spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions in a coherent workflow …

Background Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are the primary vectors that transmit several
arboviral diseases, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. The world is presently …

Hutchinson's n‐dimensional hypervolume concept for the interpretation of niches as
geometric shapes has provided a foundation for research across different fields of ecology …

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is used widely to study species' geographic distributions.
ENM applications frequently involve transferring models calibrated with environmental data …

We examine how different datasets, including georeferenced hardcopy maps of different
extents and georeferenced herbarium specimens (spanning the range from 100 to 85,000 …
