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
