Housed worldwide, mostly in museums and herbaria, is a vast collection of biological
specimens developed over centuries. These biological collections, and associated …

To conserve biodiversity, it is necessary to understand how species are distributed and
which aspects of the environment determine distributions. In large parts of the world and for …

Aim Massive digitalization of natural history collections is now leading to a steep
accumulation of publicly available species distribution data. However, taxonomic errors and …

Aim Techniques that predict species potential distributions by combining observed
occurrence records with environmental variables show much potential for application across …

Theory predicts low niche differentiation between species over evolutionary time scales, but
little empirical evidence is available. Reciprocal geographic predictions based on ecological …

The Genetic Algorithm for Rule-Set Prediction (GARP) is one of several current approaches
to modeling species' distributions using occurrence records and environmental data …

Given increasing access to large amounts of biodiversity information, a powerful capability is
that of modeling ecological niches and predicting geographic distributions. Because …
