Aim Many rare species are dispersal‐limited; their colonization capacity can be impacted by
land use and climate changes. Most ecological niche models predict the distribution of …

The spread of invasive species is a threat to global biodiversity. The Japanese beetle is
native to Japan, but alien populations of this insect occur in North America, and recently …

The representation of a land cover type (ie habitat) within an area is often used as an
explanatory variable in species distribution models. However, it is possible that a simple …

Species distribution modelling (SDM) has been increasingly applied to Southern Ocean
case studies over the past decades, to map the distribution of species and highlight …

Background Monitoring biodiversity is crucial in biogeography. Citizen science and
biodiversity platforms have revolutionized data access across taxa, but they struggle to …

Habitat management is necessary for the conservation of threatened species, yet best
practices in fragmented human-dominated landscapes have remained difficult to generalise …

Aim Species distribution models have become important tools for studying changes in
biodiversity. Most studies use these models to evaluate the impact of global changes on …

One of the main objectives of the Second European Breeding Bird Atlas (EBBA2) is to
provide maps showing bird occurrence at a 10 x 10 km resolution for as many of the …

Species distributional data from atlas projects collected by volunteers and professionals play
an essential role in ecology and biodiversity conservation. Atlas data primarily allow …

The last fieldwork year of EBBA2 is ongoing in 2017. A third pilot data for the European
Breeding Bird Atlas 2 (EBBA2) was requested in 2016. Preliminary 50× 50 km data for 15 …
