Predicting extinctions with species distribution models
Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023 Abstract Predictions of species-level extinction risk from climate change are mostly based on species distribution models (SDMs). Reviewing the literature, we summarise why the translation of SDM results to extinction risk is conceptually and methodologically challenged and why critical SDM assumptions are unlikely to be met under ...

Monotonicity-constrained species distribution models [PDF]
Ecology, 2011 Flexible modeling frameworks for species distribution models based on generalized additive models that allow for smooth, nonlinear effects and interactions are of increasing importance in ecology. Commonly, the flexibility of such smooth function estimates is controlled by means of penalized estimation procedures.

Multi-Scenario Species Distribution Modeling [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly being used to predict suitable insect habitats. There is also much criticism of prediction discrepancies among different SDMs for the same species and the lack of effective communication about SDM prediction uncertainty.

Species distribution modeling in the tropics: problems, potentialities, and the role of biological data for effective species conservation [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper we aim to investigate the problems and potentialities of species distribution modeling (SDM) as a tool for conservation planning and policy development and implementation in tropical regions.

Annals of GIS, 2023 Invasive species are ranked as one of the leading drivers of global biodiversity loss. To mitigate their impact, we must understand the future risks caused by invasive species, particularly to flora of conservation concern.

Examining and addressing the Wallacean shortfall : species distribution modelling and biodiversity patterns of hawkmoths in the old world [PDF]
, 2013 The geographic distribution of the species is one of the basic units of information in ecology and biogeography, yet for the vast majority of the species in the world is quite unknown. It is a phenomenon called the Wallacean shortfall.

Modelling the distribution of the invasive Roesel’s bushcricket (Metrioptera roeselii) in a fragmented landscape [PDF]
, 2011 The development of conservation strategies to mitigate the impact of invasive species requires knowledge of the species ecology and distribution. This is, however, often lacking as collecting biological data may be both time-consuming and resource ...
