A quantitative review of abundance-based species distribution models

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their presence in a given community, but also on their local abundance.

A standard protocol for reporting species distribution models

open access: yesEcography, 2020
Species distribution models (SDMs) constitute the most common class of models across ecology, evolution and conservation. The advent of ready-to-use software pack - ages and increasing availability of digital geoinformation have considerably assisted

Considerations for Building Climate-based Species Distribution Models

open access: yesEDIS, 2016
Climate plays an important role in the distribution of species. A given species may adjust to new conditions in-place, move to new areas with suitable climates, or go extinct.

Wild dogs at stake: deforestation threatens the only Amazon endemic canid, the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The persistent high deforestation rate and fragmentation of the Amazon forests are the main threats to their biodiversity. To anticipate and mitigate these threats, it is important to understand and predict how species respond to the rapidly changing ...

Scale dependency of joint species distribution models challenges interpretation of biotic interactions

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, 2021
Separating the biotic and abiotic factors controlling species distributions has been a long‐standing challenge in ecology and biogeography. Joint species distribution models (JSDMs) have emerged as a promising statistical framework towards this objective

Species distribution models of tropical deep-sea snappers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Deep-sea fisheries provide an important source of protein to Pacific Island countries and territories that are highly dependent on fish for food security. However, spatial management of these deep-sea habitats is hindered by insufficient data.

Evaluation metrics and validation of presence-only species distribution models based on distributional maps with varying coverage

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
We examine how different datasets, including georeferenced hardcopy maps of different extents and georeferenced herbarium specimens (spanning the range from 100 to 85,000 km 2 ) influence ecological niche modeling.

Multi-Scenario Species Distribution Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesInsects, 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.

Monotonicity-constrained species distribution models [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 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.

SDMtune: An R package to tune and evaluate species distribution models

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Balancing model complexity is a key challenge of modern computational ecology, particularly so since the spread of machine learning algorithms. Species distribution models are often implemented using a wide variety of machine learning algorithms that can
