Reporting specific modelling methods and metadata is essential to the reproducibility of
ecological studies, yet guidelines rarely exist regarding what information should be noted …

Species distribution models, also known as ecological niche models or habitat suitability
models, have become commonplace for addressing fundamental and applied biodiversity …

Defining species' niches is central to understanding their distributions and is thus
fundamental to basic ecology and climate change projections. Ecological niche models …

Background Trees play crucial roles in the biosphere and societies worldwide, with a total of
60,065 tree species currently identified. Increasingly, a large amount of data on tree species …

Ecological niche modeling has emerged as a notable tool in invasive species risk
assessment. However, the advances of the ecological niche theory, the basis of ecological …

Based on our own empirical data and a literature review, we explore the possibility that
biotic interactions, specifically competition, might be responsible for creating, and/or …

Biotic interactions have been controversial in distributional ecology, mainly in regards to
whether they have effects over broad extents, with the negative view known as the Eltonian …

Spatial records of species are commonly misidentified, which can change the predicted
distribution of a species obtained from a species distribution model (SDM). Experiments …

Environmental variation within a species' range can create contrasting selective pressures,
leading to divergent selection and novel adaptations. The conservation value of populations …

Aim While the floras of eastern Asia (EA) and eastern North America (ENA) share numerous
genera, they have drastically different species richness. Despite an overall similarity in the …
