Quantitative evaluations to optimize complexity have become standard for avoiding
overfitting of ecological niche models (ENMs) that estimate species' potential geographic …

Demand for models in biodiversity assessments is rising, but which models are adequate for
the task? We propose a set of best-practice standards and detailed guidelines enabling …

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 …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

Species distribution models (SDMs) constitute the most common class of models across
ecology, evolution and conservation. The advent of ready‐to‐use software packages and …

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 models are central to many scientific disciplines and vital for informing
management in a rapidly changing world. However, limited understanding of the accuracy …

Joint species distribution modelling (JSDM) is a fast-develo** field and promises to
revolutionise how data on ecological communities are analysed and interpreted. Written for …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

While there is a clear demand for scenarios that provide alternative states in biodiversity with
respect to future emissions, a thorough analysis and communication of the associated …
