A problem with variable selection in a comparison of correlative and process‐based species distribution models: Comments on Higgins et al., 2020

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Comments are presented on an article published in October 2020 in Ecology and Evolution (“Predictive ability of a process‐based versus a correlative species distribution model”) by Higgins et al. This analyzed natural distributions of Australian eucalypt

Hierarchical Species Distribution Models [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports, 2016
Determining the distribution pattern of a species is important to increase scientific knowledge, inform management decisions, and conserve biodiversity. To infer spatial and temporal patterns, species distribution models have been developed for use with many sampling designs and types of data.

Potential changes in the distribution of Carnegiea gigantea under future scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Over the last decades several studies have identified that the directional changes in climate induced by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are affecting the ecology of desert ecosystems.

Clustering Species With Residual Covariance Matrix in Joint Species Distribution Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Modeling species distributions over space and time is one of the major research topics in both ecology and conservation biology. Joint Species Distribution models (JSDMs) have recently been introduced as a tool to better model community data, by ...

Spatial Evaluation of Machine Learning-Based Species Distribution Models for Prediction of Invasive Ant Species Distribution

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Recent advances in species distribution models (SDMs) associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and increased volumes of available data for model variables have allowed reliable evaluation of the potential distribution of any species.

Modelling the distribution of the invasive Roesel’s bushcricket (Metrioptera roeselii) in a fragmented landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Potential distributional shifts in North America of allelopathic invasive plant species under climate change models

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2022
Predictive studies play a crucial role in the study of biological invasions of terrestrial plants under possible climate change scenarios. Invasive species are recognized for their ability to modify soil microbial communities and influence ecosystem ...

The Role of Behavioral Dynamics in Determining the Patch Distributions of Interacting Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The effect of the behavioral dynamics of movement on the population dynamics of interacting species in multipatch systems is studied. The behavioral dynamics of habitat choice used in a range of previous models are reviewed.

Modelling species distributions using regression quantiles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, 2007
Summary Species distribution modelling is an important and well‐established tool for conservation planning and resource management. Modelling techniques based on central estimates of species responses to environmental factors do not always provide ecologically meaningful estimates of species–environment relationships and are being increasingly ...

Distribution modelling of the endangered spotted Greenshank (Tringa guttifer) in a key area within its winter range

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The Spotted Greenshank (Tringa guttifer) is one of the most threated shorebird species in the world, but key environmental characteristics associated with its presence are still not well understood. Here we summarised historical records and recent survey
