Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Summary 1 Presence‐only data, for which there is no information on locations where the
species is absent, are common in both animal and plant studies. In many situations, these …

It is thought that species abundance is correlated with environmental suitability and that
environmental variables, scale, and type of model fitting can confound this relationship. We …

Resource selection functions (RSFs) are statistical models defined to be proportional to the
probability of use of a resource unit. My objective with this review is to identify how RSFs can …

Ecologists seek to understand patterns of distribution and abundance of species. Studies of
distribution often use occurrence data to build models of the environmental niche of a …

Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification of
conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for …

The need to understand the processes sha** population distributions has resulted in a
vast increase in the diversity of spatial wildlife data, leading to the development of many …

Quantifying the relative influence of multiple mechanisms driving recent range expansion of
non‐native species is essential for predicting future changes and for informing adaptation …

Habitat choice is an evolutionary product of animals experiencing increased fitness when
preferentially occupying high‐quality habitat. However, an ecological trap (ET) can occur …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools for forecasting the potential impacts
of future environmental changes but debate remains over the most robust modelling …
