Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations
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 …

Predictive performance of presence‐only species distribution models: a benchmark study with reproducible code
Species distribution modeling (SDM) is widely used in ecology and conservation. Currently,
the most available data for SDM are species presence‐only records (available through …

Co‐occurrence is not evidence of ecological interactions
There is a rich amount of information in co‐occurrence (presence–absence) data that could
be used to understand community assembly. This proposition first envisioned by Forbes …
