Journal ArticleDOI

Jane Elith,Catherine H. Graham,Robert P. Anderson,Miroslav Dudík,Simon Ferrier,Antoine Guisan,Robert J. Hijmans,Falk Huettmann,John R. Leathwick,Anthony Lehmann,Jin Li,Lúcia G. Lohmann,Bette A.

TL;DR: This work compared 16 modelling methods over 226 species from 6 regions of the world, creating the most comprehensive set of model comparisons to date and found that presence-only data were effective for modelling species' distributions for many species and regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sample selection bias and presence-only distribution models: implications for background and pseudo-absence data
Steven J. Phillips,Miroslav Dudík,Jane Elith,Catherine H. Graham,Anthony Lehmann,John R. Leathwick,Simon Ferrier +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that increased awareness of the implications of spatial bias in surveys, and possible modeling remedies, will substantially improve predictions of species distributions and as large an effect on predictive performance as the choice of modeling method.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The negative effects of climate change cannot be adequately anticipated or prepared for unless species responses are explicitly included in decision-making and global strategic frameworks, and feedbacks on climate itself are documented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the predictive performance of habitat models developed using logistic regression
Jennie L. Pearce,Simon Ferrier +1 more
TL;DR: Techniques are described for evaluating reliability or calibration and discrimination capacity of habitat models developed using logistic regression which measures discrimination capacity in terms of the area under a relative operating characteristic curve relating relative proportions of correctly and incorrectly classified predictions over a wide and continuous range of threshold levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is proposed that species distribution modellers should get involved in real decision-making processes that will benefit from their technical input and have the potential to better bridge theory and practice, and contribute to improve both scientific knowledge and conservation outcomes.
