Climate change may be an important threat to global biodiversity, potentially leading to the
extinction of numerous species. But how many? There have been various attempts to …

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

Abstract Information on where species occur is an important component of conservation and
management decisions, but knowledge of distributions is often coarse or incomplete …

Species distribution models are used to study biogeographic patterns and guide decision‐
making. The variable quality of these models makes it critical to assess whether a model's …

Aim Forecasting changes in species distribution under future scenarios is one of the most
prolific areas of application for species distribution models (SDMs). However, no consensus …

Climate change has been associated with both latitudinal and elevational shifts in species'
ranges. The extent, however, to which climate change has driven recent range shifts …

Invasive alien species (IAS) are a rising threat to biodiversity, national security, and regional
economies, with impacts in the hundreds of billions of US dollars annually. Proactive or …

Understanding the processes that shape forest functioning, structure, and diversity remains
challenging, although data on forest systems are being collected at a rapid pace and across …

Abstract Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to make predictions on
how species distributions may change as a response to climatic change. To assess the …

Aim MaxEnt has been widely used to model species' geographic distributions as functions of
environmental variables and to predict changes in distributions in response to …
