Resistance surfaces are often used to fill gaps in our knowledge surrounding animal
movement and are frequently the basis for modeling connectivity associated with …

The inevitable though frequently informal use of expert opinion in modelling, the increasing
number of models that incorporate formally expert opinion from a diverse range of …

Context Conservation corridors must facilitate long-distance dispersal movements to
promote gene flow, prevent inbreeding, and allow animals to shift ranges with climate …

En los últimos años se ha generalizado una nueva herramienta que permite analizar
objetivamente los patrones espaciales de presencia de organismos: los modelos de …

The goal of this chapter is to describe the state of the art in quantitative corridor and
connectivity modelling. It reviews several critical issues in modelling, and provides expert …

Offshore wind energy development (OWED) is rapidly expanding globally and has the
potential to contribute significantly to renewable energy portfolios. However, development of …

Practicing ecologists who excel at their work (“experts”) hold a wealth of knowledge. This
knowledge offers a wide range of opportunities for application in ecological research and …

Aim Species distribution models and geographical information system (GIS) technologies
are becoming increasingly important tools in conservation planning and decision‐making …

Conservationists are increasingly relying on distribution models to predict where species are
likely to occur, especially in poorly-surveyed but biodiverse areas. Modeling is challenging …

In this paper we aim to investigate the problems and potentialities of species distribution
modeling (SDM) as a tool for conservation planning and policy development and …
