In recent years, the use of ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models
(SDMs) to explore the patterns and processes behind observed distribution of species has …

The reliability of transferring species distribution models (SDMs) to new ranges and future
climates has been widely debated. Biological invasions offer the unique opportunity to …

The use of correlative ecological niche models has highly increased in the last decade.
Despite all literature and textbooks in this field, few practical guidelines exist on the correct …

Understanding the relationship between the geographical distribution of taxa and their
environmental conditions is a key concept in ecology and conservation. The use of …

The global impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change are interlinked, but the feedbacks
between them are rarely assessed. Areas with greater tree diversity tend to be more …

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 …

The increasing use of species distribution modeling (SDM) has raised new concerns
regarding the inaccuracies, misunderstanding, and misuses of this important tool. One of …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the occurrence of species.
Because SDMs generally use presence‐only data, validation of the predicted distribution …

Aim Models of species niches and distributions have become invaluable to biogeographers
over the past decade, yet several outstanding methodological issues remain. Here we …
