The uncertain nature of absences and their importance in species distribution modelling
Species distribution models (SDM) are commonly used to obtain hypotheses on either the
realized or the potential distribution of species. The reliability and meaning of these …

Accounting for uncertainty when mapping species distributions: the need for maps of ignorance
Accurate mapping of species distributions is a fundamental goal of modern biogeography,
both for basic and applied purposes. This is commonly done by plotting known species …

Ground validation of presence‐only modelling with rare species: a case study on barbastelles Barbastella barbastellus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
We evaluated the accuracy of presence‐only modelling for predicting the distribution of rare
species, when data are scarce and usually collected with sampling biases. We modelled the …

Spatial prediction of species' distributions from occurrence-only records: combining point pattern analysis, ENFA and regression-kriging
A computational framework to map species' distributions (realized density) using occurrence-
only data and environmental predictors is presented and illustrated using a textbook …

Improving species distribution models using biotic interactions: a case study of parasites, pollinators and plants
Biotic interactions have been considered as an important factor to be included in species
distribution modelling, but little is known about how different types of interaction or different …

A practical method to speed up the discovery of unknown populations using Species Distribution Models
Abstract Species Distribution Models (SDMs) could be an important tool to limit search
efforts by selecting the areas where field surveys are to be carried out; due to the constant …

The effect of prevalence and its interaction with sample size on the reliability of species distribution models
Prevalence (the presence/absence ratio in the training data) is commonly thought to
influence the reliability of the predictions of species distribution models. However, little is …

Recent evidence for the climate change threat to Lepidoptera and other insects
RJ Wilson, IMD Maclean - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2011 - Springer
Climate change is now estimated by some biologists to be the main threat to biodiversity, but
doubts persist regarding which species are most at risk, and how best to adapt conservation …
