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 …
Recent published evidence indicates a negative correlation between density of populations and the distance of their environments to a suitably defined 'niche centroid'. This empirical …

Context Large carnivores are crucial to ecosystem functioning, as they enhance the biodiversity of the native communities in which they live. However, most large carnivores are …
Correlative estimates of fundamental niches are gaining momentum as an alternative to predict species' abundances, particularly via the abundant niche-centroid hypothesis (an …
Aim (1) To evaluate whether geographic variation in population abundance of a widespread mammal (Pecari tajacu) is related to its location with respect to the centroid of its ecological …
Correlative ecological niche models have been widely used to infer the organisms' environmental suitability; nevertheless, the relationship between this estimated suitability …
Habitat suitability calculated from species distribution models (SDMs) has been used to assess population performance, but empirical studies have provided weak or inconclusive …
Along with other human impacts, climate change is an important driver of biological changes worldwide and is expected to severely affect species distributions. Although dramatic range …
