Abstract Background Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne infection
caused by a virus (CCHFV) from the Bunyaviridae family. Domestic and wild vertebrates are …

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 …

The increasing interest in the effects of climate changes on species distributions has been
followed by the development of Species Distribution Models (SDMs). Although these …

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

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 …

Dengue is a systemic viral infection transmitted between humans by Aedes mosquitoes. For
some patients, dengue is a life-threatening illness. There are currently no licensed vaccines …

The assumption that climatic niche requirements of invasive species are conserved between
their native and invaded ranges is key to predicting the risk of invasion. However, this …

Ecological niche models represent key tools in biogeography but the effects of biased
sampling hinder their use. Here, we address the utility of two forms of filtering the calibration …

Most high‐performing species distribution modelling techniques require both presences,
and either absences or pseudo‐absences or background points. In this paper, we explore …

Robust methods by which to generate virtual species are needed urgently in the emerging
field of distributional ecology to evaluate performance of techniques for modeling ecological …
