Abstract Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) techniques were originally developed in the
mid-1980s. In this century they are gaining increasing attention in the literature and in …

Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using
single-species bioclimatic 'envelope'models. Such models are a special case of species …

In the face of the growing challenges brought about by human activities, effective planning
and decision-making in biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, restoration, and …

The growth of data analysis techniques proceeds at astounding rates and it is often difficult
to maintain familiarity with its development. So too is the growth of sub-disciplines in …

This study estimates the present and future distribution potential of 12 thermophilic and rare
tree species for Europe based on climate-soil sensitive species distribution models (SDMs) …

Species distribution modelling is central to both fundamental and applied research in
biogeography. Despite widespread use of models, there are still important conceptual …

Statistical species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the potential
changes in species distributions under climate change scenarios. We suggest that we need …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are statistical tools that relate species observations to
environmental conditions to retrieve ecological niches and predict species' potential …

Aim We explore the relationship between current European distributions of amphibian and
reptile species and observed climate, and project species potential distributions into the …

Aims The choice of environmental predictor variables in correlative models of plant species
distributions (hereafter SDM s) is crucial to ensure predictive accuracy and model realism …
