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.

Pseudoabsence generation strategies for species distribution models. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundSpecies distribution models require selection of species, study extent and spatial unit, statistical methods, variables, and assessment metrics.

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.

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

Embracing Ensemble Species Distribution Models to Inform At-Risk Species Status Assessments

open access: yesJournal of Fish and Wildlife Management, 2021
Conservation planning depends on reliable information regarding the geographic distribution of species. However, our knowledge of species' distributions is often incomplete, especially when species are cryptic, difficult to survey, or rare.

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

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 km2) influence ecological niche modeling.

Potential Coffee Distribution in a Central-Western Region of Mexico

open access: yesEcologies, 2023
Currently, there is a world coffee production crisis which has been attributed, among other factors, to the COVID-19 pandemic that affected the development of productive agricultural activities.

Testing whether ensemble modelling is advantageous for maximising predictive performance of species distribution models

open access: yes, 2020
Predictive performance is important to many applications of species distribution models (SDMs). The SDM ‘ensemble’ approach, which combines predictions across different modelling methods, is believed to improve predictive performance, and is used in many
