Niche shifts and environmental non-equilibrium undermine the usefulness of ecological niche models for invasion risk assessments [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractNiche shifts and environmental non-equilibrium in invading alien species undermine niche-based predictions of alien species’ potential distributions and, consequently, their usefulness for invasion risk assessments. Here, we compared the realized climatic niches of four alien amphibian species (Hylarana erythraea, Rhinella marina ...

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.

voluModel: Modelling species distributions in three‐dimensional space
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Ecological niche modelling (ENM), species distribution modelling and related spatial analytical methods were first developed in two‐dimensional (2‐D) terrestrial systems; many common ENM workflows organize and analyse geographically structured occurrence

Uncertainties in predicting species distributions under climate change: a case study using Tetranychus evansi (Acari: Tetranychidae), a widespread agricultural pest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Many species are shifting their distributions due to climate change and to increasing international trade that allows dispersal of individuals across the globe. In the case of agricultural pests, such range shifts may heavily impact agriculture.

Environmental Niche and Demographic Modeling of American Chestnut near its Southwestern Range Limit [PDF]
The American Midland Naturalist, 2021 AbstractThe inadvertent introduction and rapid spread of chestnut blight (caused byCryphonectria parasitica(Murr.) Barr) in the early 20th century resulted in the demise of American chestnut (Castanea dentata(Marsh.) Borkh.; Fagaceae) as a major component of forest canopies and had negative impacts on eastern forest communities.

Selecting biological meaningful environmental dimensions of low discrepancy among ranges to predict potential distribution of Bean plataspid invasion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: The Bean plataspid (Megacopta cribraria) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), native to Asia, is becoming an invasive species in North America; its potential spread to soybean producing areas in the US is of great concern.

Are we overestimating the niche? Removing marginal localities helps ecological niche models detect environmental barriers [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractCorrelative ecological niche models (ENMs) estimate species niches using occurrence records and environmental data. These tools are valuable to the field of biogeography, where they are commonly used to infer potential connectivity among populations. However, a recent study showed that when locally relevant environmental data are not available,

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 ...
