A retrospective approach for evaluating ecological niche modeling transferability over time: the case of Mexican endemic rodents [PDF]
PeerJEcological niche modeling (ENM) is a valuable tool for inferring suitable environmental conditions and estimating species’ geographic distributions. ENM is widely used to assess the potential effects of climate change on species distributions; however ...

The predictive performance and stability of six species distribution models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Predicting species' potential geographical range by species distribution models (SDMs) is central to understand their ecological requirements. However, the effects of using different modeling techniques need further investigation. In order to improve the

Journal of Maps, 2017 The Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System according to Rivas-Martínez (WBCS) is a bioclimatic classification that is widely used in vegetation science, geobotany, and landscape ecology. To date, only one complete WBCS map has been produced for Italy at the national scale. Here, we define two major updates to the WBCS map of Italy: improvements to

Bioclimate in Built Environment
Ergonomics International Journal, 2021 The bioclimatic aspects are associated with building environmental performance that makes a building help minimum impact on the environment, attention to human health and safety, minimum energy consumption. The ergonomic design of buildings contributes to maintaining the bioclimatic aspects of the buildings.
