Species lifetime distribution for simple models of ecologies [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Interpretation of empirical results based on a taxa's lifetime distribution shows apparently conflicting results. Species' lifetime is reported to be exponentially distributed, whereas higher-order taxa, such as families or genera, follow a broader distribution, compatible with power-law decay.

A theoretical framework for upscaling species distribution models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Species distribution models (SDM) have become one of the most popular predictive tools in ecology. With the advent of new computation and remote sensing technology, high‐resolution environmental data sets are becoming more and more common predictors in ...

Drivers of Spatial Distributions of Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) in the Southwest Pacific
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) were widely reported throughout New Zealand waters. Once commonly observed, and sometimes in large numbers, basking sharks are now infrequently reported.

An extensive comparison of species-abundance distribution models [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 A number of different models have been proposed as descriptions of the species-abundance distribution (SAD). Most evaluations of these models use only one or two models, focus on only a single ecosystem or taxonomic group, or fail to use appropriate ...

Caveats for correlative species distribution modeling
Ecological Informatics, 2015 Abstract Correlative species distribution models are becoming commonplace in the scientific literature and public outreach products, displaying locations, abundance, or suitable environmental conditions for harmful invasive species, threatened and endangered species, or species of special concern.

Development and Delivery of Species Distribution Models to Inform Decision-Making
BioScience, 2019 Information on where species occur is an important component of conservation and management decisions, but knowledge of distributions is often coarse or incomplete. Species distribution models provide a tool for mapping habitat and can produce credible,

Minimum required number of specimen records to develop accurate species distribution models
, 2016 Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the occurrence of species. Because SDMs generally use presence-only data, validation of the predicted distribution and assessing model accuracy is challenging.
