The use of species distribution models (SDM) is of increasing popularity when studying biological invasions, eg to assess the impact of climate change on invasive species, to …
This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building, evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …
Background Ecological niche modeling is a set of analytical tools with applications in diverse disciplines, yet creating these models rigorously is now a challenging task. The …
This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography, linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …
The field of ecological niche modelling or species distribution modelling has seen enormous activity and attention in recent years, in the light of exciting biological inferences that can be …
Algorithms for producing ecological niche models and species distribution models are widely applied in biogeography and conservation biology. However, in some cases models …
Bioclimatic envelope models use associations between aspects of climate and species' occurrences to estimate the conditions that are suitable to maintain viable populations. Once …
Correlational models of species' ecological niches are commonly used to transfer model rules onto other sets of conditions to evaluate species' distributional potential. As with any …
The growth of data analysis techniques proceeds at astounding rates and it is often difficult to maintain familiarity with its development. So too is the growth of sub-disciplines in …
