Diferencias conceptuales entre modelación de nichos y modelación de áreasde distribución

Abstract

The ideas of modeling niches of species and modeling areas of distribution, for some reason are confused terminologically. The terms " Species Distribution Models (SDM), and" Ecological Niche Models "(ENM) are very often considered synonymous, leaving aside the purely semantic problem, the modeling of niches and the modeling of distribution areas are strictly related activities. but clearly distinct, in this contribution we clarify these differences, presenting some examples.
