The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their
presence but also on their local abundance. Progress in predictive spatial modelling has …

Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

Biodiversity studies rely heavily on estimates of species' distributions often obtained through
ecological niche modelling. Numerous software packages exist that allow users to model …

Correlational ecological niche models have seen intensive use and exploration as a means
of estimating the limits of actual and potential geographic distributions of species, yet their …

The R language provides most applications (packages) currently available for ecological
niche modelling. In the last few years, these packages have increased substantially. There …

Despite being widely used, habitat selection models are rarely reliable and informative
when applied across different ecosystems or over time. One possible explanation is that …

Human land-use results in widespread range change across taxa. Anthropogenic pressures
can result in species' realized niches expanding, shifting, or contracting. Marginalization …

Understanding variation in abundance within species' ranges is fundamental for ecological
and evolutionary theory and applied conservation science. The abundant‐center model …

Species distribution models (SDMs) correlate species occurrences with environmental
predictors, and can be used to forecast distributions under future climates. SDMs have been …

Abstract Google Earth Engine (GEE) has revolutionized geospatial analyses by fast-
processing formerly demanding analyses from multiple research areas. Recently, maximum …
