In recent years, the use of ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models
(SDMs) to explore the patterns and processes behind observed distribution of species has …

Models provide useful insights into conservation and resource management issues and
solutions. Their use to date has highlighted conditions under which no-take marine …

Management of highly migratory species is reliant on spatially and temporally explicit
information on their distribution and abundance. Satellite telemetry provides time‐series …

Climate change is one of the most serious global environmental problems and it is of great
importance to understand how species respond to climate change. Species distribution …

Management of human activities which impact the seafloor in the deep ocean is becoming
increasingly important as bottom trawling and exploration for minerals, oil, and gas continue …

Effective ecosystem-based management of bottom-contacting fisheries requires
understanding of how disturbances from fishing affect seafloor fauna over a wide range of …

Climate change is currently considered one of the main phenomena affecting marine
species through expansion or contraction of their distribution. Being ectothermic organisms …

Habitat models have gradually become important tools for assessing and predicting the
spatio-temporal distribution of marine organisms. Species are closely associated with each …

Context The distribution of animals is influenced by a complex interplay of landscape,
