The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their
presence but also on their local abundance. Progress in predictive spatial modelling has …

Conservation science depends on an accurate understanding of what's happening in a
given ecosystem. How many species live there? What is the makeup of the population? How …

Species distribution models, also known as ecological niche models or habitat suitability
models, have become commonplace for addressing fundamental and applied biodiversity …

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 …

The past decade has yielded more biodiversity observations from community science than
the past century of traditional scientific collection. This rapid influx of data is promising for …

Aim Accounting for sampling bias is the greatest challenge facing presence‐only and
presence‐background species distribution models; no matter what type of model is chosen …

Projecting the future distributions of commercially and ecologically important species has
become a critical approach for ecosystem managers to strategically anticipate change, but …

We examine how different datasets, including georeferenced hardcopy maps of different
extents and georeferenced herbarium specimens (spanning the range from 100 to 85,000 …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are a common approach to describing species' space‐
use and spatially‐explicit abundance. With a myriad of model types, methods and …

Aim Species distribution models are used across evolution, ecology, conservation and
epidemiology to make critical decisions and study biological phenomena, often in cases …
