Quantitative evaluations to optimize complexity have become standard for avoiding
overfitting of ecological niche models (ENMs) that estimate species' potential geographic …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

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 accessibility of global biodiversity information has surged in the past two decades,
notably through widespread funding initiatives for museum specimen digitization and …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

Native biodiversity decline and non-native species spread are major features of the
Anthropocene. Both processes can drive biotic homogenization by reducing trait and …

Choices made in modeling matter and demand more explication since they determine how
much we can trust modeling insights and predictions within their social, political and ethical …

Ecosystem structure, especially vertical vegetation structure, is one of the six essential
biodiversity variable classes and is an important aspect of habitat heterogeneity, affecting …

Balancing model complexity is a key challenge of modern computational ecology,
particularly so since the spread of machine learning algorithms. Species distribution models …

Released 4 years ago, the Wallace EcoMod application (R package wallace) provided an
open‐source and interactive platform for modeling species niches and distributions that …
