Species distribution models (SDMs) are an important tool in biogeography and ecology and
are widely used for both fundamental and applied research purposes. SDMs require …

Aim We introduce and evaluate the potential effect of spatially marginal localities
(specifically those protruding into unsuitable regions), in overestimating species niches and …

Species range and climate change risk are often assessed using species distribution
models (SDM) that model species niche from presence points and environmental variables …

Methods to incorporate spatial context into species distribution models (SDMs) are
underutilised, with predictions usually based only on environmental space and ignoring …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools for many applications in ecology,
evolution, conservation planning and understanding of environmental impacts (eg, climate …

Aim The extent of the study area (geographical background, GB) can strongly affect the
results of species distribution models (SDMs), but as yet we lack objective and practicable …

Prior to making general inferences or predictions from habitat models, their generalizability
requires thorough assessment. However, systematic testing of model generality is often …

'Species distribution modeling'was recently ranked as one of the top five 'research fronts' in
ecology and the environmental sciences by ISI's Essential Science Indicators, reflecting the …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are used to project how suitable ranges of species shift
under a warming climate. Conservation management, however, commonly targets habitat …
