Quantitative evaluations to optimize complexity have become standard for avoiding
overfitting of ecological niche models (ENMs) that estimate species' potential geographic …

In recent years, the use of ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models
(SDMs) to explore the patterns and processes behind observed distribution of species has …

Species distribution modeling (SDM) is widely used in ecology and conservation. Currently,
the most available data for SDM are species presence‐only records (available through …

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

Species distribution models (SDMs) constitute the most common class of models across
ecology, evolution and conservation. The advent of ready‐to‐use software packages and …

The use of correlative ecological niche models has highly increased in the last decade.
Despite all literature and textbooks in this field, few practical guidelines exist on the correct …

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

Chilgoza pine is an economically and ecologically important evergreen coniferous tree
species of the dry and rocky temperate zone, and a native of south Asia. This species is …

This software note announces a new open‐source release of the Maxent software for
modeling species distributions from occurrence records and environmental data, and …

When applied to structured data, conventional random cross-validation techniques can lead
to underestimation of prediction error, and may result in inappropriate model selection. We …
