Global knowledge about the spatial distribution of species is orders of magnitude coarser in
resolution than other geographically-structured environmental datasets such as topography …

Data on the occurrence of species are widely used to inform the design of reserve networks.
These data contain commission errors (when a species is mistakenly thought to be present) …

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

The availability of detailed environmental data, together with inexpensive and powerful
computers, has fueled a rapid increase in predictive modeling of species environmental …

Species distribution models should provide conservation practioners with estimates of the
spatial distributions of species requiring attention. These species are often rare and have …

Controls on the global distribution of surge-type glaciers hold the keys to a better
understanding of surge mechanisms. We investigate correlations between the distribution of …

Aim Various statistical techniques have been used to model species probabilities of
occurrence in response to environmental conditions. This paper provides a comprehensive …

Museum records have great potential to provide valuable insights into the vulnerability,
historic distribution, and conservation of species, especially when coupled with species …

The term “habitat restoration” appears frequently in conservation and landscape
management documents but is often poorly articulated. There is a need to move to a clearer …

The work of conservation biology has grown from local studies of single species into a
discipline concerned with map** and managing biodiversity on a global scale. Remote …
