Ecological niches reflect not only adaptation to local circumstances but also the tendency of
related lineages to share environmental tolerances. As a result, information on phylogenetic …

In the last two decades, interest in species distribution models (SDMs) of plants and animals
has grown dramatically. Recent advances in SDMs allow us to potentially forecast …

Indicator species are species that are used as ecological indicators of community or habitat
types, environmental conditions, or environmental changes. In order to determine indicator …

Prediction of species' distributions is central to diverse applications in ecology, evolution and
conservation science. There is increasing electronic access to vast sets of occurrence …

A citizen scientist is a volunteer who collects and/or processes data as part of a scientific
enquiry. Projects that involve citizen scientists are burgeoning, particularly in ecology and …

Species distribution models should provide conservation practioners with estimates of the
spatial distributions of species requiring attention. These species are often rare and have …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

Impacts of climate change on individual species are increasingly well documented, but we
lack understanding of how these effects propagate through ecological communities. Here …
