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 ...

Identification of potential suitable habitats and high conservation value areas for threatened species in Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape, Philippines [PDF]
One EcosystemIdentifying suitable habitats and High Conservation Value Areas (HCVAs) for threatened species is critical for informing site-based management in biodiversity-rich, but vulnerable landscapes.

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.

Delineating generalized species boundaries from species distribution data and a species distribution model [PDF]
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2013 Species distribution models (SDM) are commonly used to provide information about species ranges or extents, and often are intended to represent the entire area of potential occupancy or suitable habitat in which individuals occur. While SDMs can provide results over various geographic extents, they normally operate within a grid and cannot delimit ...

Modelling the spatial distribution of three marine fish species in the southern Benguela [PDF]
, 2013 Understanding the spatial distribution of species in relationship to climatic and environmental variables is key to conservation and management of important species, as their distribution might change under climate change and variability.

Making species distribution models available on the Web for reuse in biodiversity experiments: Euterpe edulis species case study / Modelos de distribuição de espécies disponíveis na Web para reutilização em experimentos de biodiversidade: Estudo de caso com a espécie Euterpe edulis [PDF]
Sociedade & Natureza, 2009 Currently, biodiversity conservation is one of the most urgent and important themes. Biodiversityresearchers use species distribution models to make inferences about species occurrences and locations.These models are fundamental for fauna and flora ...
