Spatial Models to Account for Variation in Observer Effort in Bird Atlases
, 2017 To assess the importance of variation in observer effort between and within bird atlas projects and demonstrate the use of relatively simple conditional autoregressive (CAR) models for analyzing grid-based atlas data with varying effort. Pennsylvania and

Inferring the similarity of species distributions using Species’ Distribution Models
Ecography, 2013 A common problem in ecology is our need to reliably compare information on the distributions of distinct species. Since it is not always possible to directly compare the distributions of two species, numerous papers now seek to compare the predictions of Species’ Distribution Models (SDMs, estimates of the probability that two species are present ...

Biogeography of Endemic Dragonflies of the Ozark-Ouachita Interior Highlands [PDF]
, 2019 A common pattern across many taxonomic groups is that relatively few species are widespread while the majority are restricted in their geographic ranges. Such species distributions are used to inform conservation status, which poses unique challenges for

Uncertainties in Plant Species Niche Modeling under Climate Change Scenarios
EcologiesSpecies distribution models (SDMs) have been used to forecast the impact of climate change on species’ potential distribution, with results that might support decisions for conservation and biodiversity management.

Infinite joint species distribution models
BiometrikaSummary Joint species distribution models are popular in ecology for modelling covariate effects on species occurrence, while characterizing cross-species dependence. Data consist of multivariate binary indicators of the occurrences of different species in each sample, along with sample-specific covariates.
