Demand for models in biodiversity assessments is rising, but which models are adequate for
the task? We propose a set of best-practice standards and detailed guidelines enabling …

Aim The idea of combining predictions from different models into an ensemble has gained
considerable popularity in species distribution modelling, partly due to free and …

Understanding the relationship between the geographical distribution of taxa and their
environmental conditions is a key concept in ecology and conservation. The use of …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,

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 …

While there is a clear demand for scenarios that provide alternative states in biodiversity with
respect to future emissions, a thorough analysis and communication of the associated …

Predictive performance is important to many applications of species distribution models
(SDMs). The SDM 'ensemble'approach, which combines predictions across different …

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

sdm is an object‐oriented, reproducible and extensible, platform for species distribution
modelling. It uses individual species and community‐based approaches, enabling …

As new cases of SARS CoV-2 (aka 2019-nCoV) Coronavirus are confirmed throughout the
