Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely depending on the
specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus of each study. I synthesized …

Species distribution models (SDMs) trained on presence-only data are frequently used in
ecological research and conservation planning. However, users of SDM software are faced …

MaxEnt is a program for modelling species distributions from presence‐only species
