Spatially explicit species distribution models: A missed opportunity in conservation planning?

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2019
Systematic conservation planning is vital for allocating protected areas given the spatial distribution of conservation features, such as species. Due to incomplete species inventories, species distribution models (SDMs) are often used for predicting ...

Effects of human demand on conservation planning for biodiversity and ecosystem services

Conservation Biology, 2019
Safeguarding ecosystem services and biodiversity is critical to achieving sustainable development. To date, ecosystem services quantification has focused on the biophysical supply of services with less emphasis on human beneficiaries (i.e., demand). Only
