Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

Addressing common pitfalls does not provide more support to geographical and ecological abundant‐centre hypotheses
A long‐standing hypothesis in biogeography is that a species' abundance is highest at the
centre of its geographical or environmental space and decreases toward the edges. Several …

On population abundance and niche structure
Recent published evidence indicates a negative correlation between density of populations
and the distance of their environments to a suitably defined 'niche centroid'. This empirical …

Incorporating intraspecific variation into species distribution models improves distribution predictions, but cannot predict species traits for a wide‐spread plant species
The most common approach to predicting how species ranges and ecological functions will
shift with climate change is to construct correlative species distribution models (SDMs) …

Range edges in heterogeneous landscapes: Integrating geographic scale and climate complexity into range dynamics
The impacts of climate change have re‐energized interest in understanding the role of
climate in setting species geographic range edges. Despite the strong focus on species' …

Climate‐driven, but dynamic and complex? A reconciliation of competing hypotheses for species' distributions
Estimates of the percentage of species “committed to extinction” by climate change range
from 15% to 37%. The question is whether factors other than climate need to be included in …

Climate limitation at the cold edge: contrasting perspectives from species distribution modelling and a transplant experiment
The role of climate in determining range margins is often studied using species distribution
models (SDMs), which are easily applied but have well‐known limitations, eg due to their …
