Common mistakes in ecological niche models [PDF]
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2020 Ecological niche models (ENMs) are widely used statistical methods to estimate various types of species niches.

A checklist for maximizing reproducibility of ecological niche models [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019 AbstractReporting specific modelling methods and metadata is essential to the reproducibility of ecological studies, yet guidelines rarely exist regarding what information should be noted. Here, we address this issue for ecological niche modelling or species distribution modelling, a rapidly developing toolset in ecology used across many aspects of ...

Advances and Limitations of Disease Biogeography Using Ecological Niche Modeling
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Mapping disease transmission risk is crucial in public and animal health for evidence based decision-making. Ecology and epidemiology are highly related disciplines that may contribute to improvements in mapping disease, which can be used to answer ...

Novel Methods in Disease Biogeography: A Case Study with Heterosporosis
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 Disease biogeography is currently a promising field to complement epidemiology, and ecological niche modeling theory and methods are a key component. Therefore, applying the concepts and tools from ecological niche modeling to disease biogeography and ...

Modelling the ecological niche from functional traits [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 The niche concept is central to ecology but is often depicted descriptively through observing associations between organisms and habitats. Here, we argue for the importance of mechanistically modelling niches based on functional traits of organisms and explore the possibilities for achieving this through the integration of three theoretical frameworks:

Ecological niche divergence or ecological niche partitioning in a widespread Neotropical bird lineage [PDF]
PeerJEcological niche divergence is generally considered to be a facet of evolution that may accompany geographic isolation and diversification in allopatry, contributing to species’ evolutionary distinctiveness through time.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 AbstractEcological Niche Models (ENMs) are often used to project species distributions within alien ranges and in future climatic scenarios. However, ENMs depend on species‐environment equilibrium, which may be absent for actively expanding species. We present a novel framework to estimate whether species have reached environmental equilibrium in their

Importance of biotic predictors in estimation of potential invasive areas: the example of the tortoise beetle Eurypedus nigrosignatus, in Hispaniola [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Climatic variables have been the main predictors employed in ecological niche modeling and species distribution modeling, although biotic interactions are known to affect species’ spatial distributions via mechanisms such as predation, competition, and ...

Evolution of the climatic tolerance and postglacial range changes of the most primitive orchids (Apostasioideae) within Sundaland, Wallacea and Sahul [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The location of possible glacial refugia of six Apostasioideae representatives is estimated based on ecological niche modeling analysis. The distribution of their suitable niches during the last glacial maximum (LGM) is compared with their current ...
