The use of complex statistical models has recently increased substantially in the context of
species distribution behavior. This complexity has made the inferential and predictive …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …

Abstract Changes over the scale of decades in oceanic environments present a range of
challenges for management and utilisation of ocean resources. Here we investigate sources …

Questions Soil properties have been widely shown to influence plant growth and
distribution. However, the degree to which edaphic variables can improve models based on …

An important first step in studying the demography of wild animals is to identify the animals
uniquely through applying markings, such as rings, tags, and bands. Once the animals are …

Accurate estimates of the under-five mortality rate in a developing world context are a key
barometer of the health of a nation. This paper describes a new model to analyze survey …

Spatial climate variables are routinely used in species distribution models (SDMs) without
accounting for the fact that they have been predicted with uncertainty, which can lead to …

As human activities expand beyond national jurisdictions to the high seas, there is an
increasing need to consider anthropogenic impacts to species inhabiting these waters. The …

Ecological studies require quality data to describe the nature of ecological processes and to
advance understanding of ecosystem change. Increasing access to big data has magnified …

Species distribution models (SDM s) for presence‐only data depend on accurate and
precise measurements of geographical and environmental covariates that influence …
