Inclusion of biotic variables improves predictions of environmental niche models
Diversity and Distributions, 2022 AbstractAimSpecies Distribution Models (SDMs) are correlative models that predict the occurrence or abundance of species in relation to predictor variables. SDMs have become an important part of resource management and conservation biology yet they rarely incorporate species’ biology or demography into their predictions.

Predicting the current and future potential distributions of lymphatic filariasis in Africa using maximum entropy ecological niche modelling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Modelling the spatial distributions of human parasite species is crucial to understanding the environmental determinants of infection as well as for guiding the planning of control programmes.

Environmental filtering improves ecological niche models across multiple scales [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractA clear challenge for ecological niche modelling is determining how to best mitigate the effects of sampling bias from commonly collected biodiversity data. Recent approaches have focused on filtering occurrences in overrepresented regions based on geographic or environmental proximity.We tested the efficacy of filtering in geographic and ...

Local-scale models reveal ecological niche variability in amphibian and reptile communities from two contrasting biogeographic regions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Ecological Niche Models (ENMs) are widely used to describe how environmental factors influence species distribution. Modelling at a local scale, compared to a large scale within a high environmental gradient, can improve our understanding of ecological ...

Niche tracking and rapid establishment of distributional equilibrium in the house sparrow show potential responsiveness of species to climate change. [PDF]
, 2012 The ability of species to respond to novel future climates is determined in part by their physiological capacity to tolerate climate change and the degree to which they have reached and continue to maintain distributional equilibrium with the environment.

ENMTools: a toolbox for comparative studies of environmental niche models [PDF]
Ecography, 2010 We present software that facilitates quantitative comparisons of environmental niche models (ENMs). Our software quantifies similarity of ENMs generated using the program Maxent and uses randomization tests to compare observed similarity to that expected under different null hypotheses.

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]
, 2015 Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...
