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 distributions and abundances are undergoing rapid changes worldwide. This
highlights the significance of reliable, integrated information for guiding and assessing …

Climate change is impacting virtually all marine life. Adaptation strategies will require a
robust understanding of the risks to species and ecosystems and how those propagate to …

Marine mammals are impacted by many anthropogenic activities and mitigating these
impacts requires knowledge about the geographic occurrence of threats. Here, we …

Marine mammals can play important ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems, and their
presence can be key to community structure and function. Consequently, marine mammals …

The Mediterranean Sea is a marine biodiversity hot spot. Here we combined an extensive
literature analysis with expert opinions to update publicly available estimates of major taxa …

Aim The oceans harbour a great diversity of organisms whose distribution and ecological
preferences are often poorly understood. Species distribution modelling (SDM) could …

Global knowledge about the spatial distribution of species is orders of magnitude coarser in
resolution than other geographically-structured environmental datasets such as topography …

Although extinctions due to climate change are still uncommon, they might surpass those
caused by habitat loss or overexploitation over the next few decades. Among marine …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to explore the effects of future global
changes in biodiversity. Previous studies show that variability is introduced into projected …
