Climate change is a grave danger for humans and a looming threat to Earth's biodiversity in
the twenty-first century. Assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change is critical for …

The large, habitat-forming bubblegum coral, Paragorgia arborea, is a vulnerable marine
ecosystem indicator with an antitropical distribution. Dense aggregations of the species …

Aim Species distribution models have become important tools for studying changes in
biodiversity. Most studies use these models to evaluate the impact of global changes on …

Today, all ecosystems are undergoing environmental change due to human activity, and in
many cases the rate of change is accelerating due to climate change. Consequently …

Climate change is a major threat to biodiversity; the development of models that reliably
predict its effects on species distributions is a priority for conservation biogeography. Two of …

Species distribution and ecological niche models (SDMs and ENMs) are popular tools used
in a wide variety of research and conservation applications. However, their use in …

Spatial classifications of the environment have previously been used to characterise
biodiversity and to facilitate management planning at large spatial scales. Such …

In recent decades, ecology and biogeography have become increasingly quantitative
disciplines. Spurred by technological advances, the amount of digital information is growing …

Aim Species distribution models are an important conservation tool; however, performance
can vary with factors including data inputs and modelling method. Model outputs are often …

Species shift their ranges in response to climate change (CC). However, they may not be
able to track optimal conditions as soon as possible, due to limited dispersal ability or habitat …
