dc.description.abstract | Modeling approaches that relate known occurrences of species to landscape features to
discover ecological properties and predict geographic occurrences have seen extensive recent
application in ecology, systematics, and conservation. A key component in this process is
estimation or characterization of species’ distributions in ecological space, which can then be
useful in understanding their potential distributions in geographic space. Hence, this process is
often termed ecological niche modeling or (less boldly) species distribution modeling.
Applications of this approach vary widely in their aims, products, and requirements; this variety is
reviewed herein, examples are provided, and differences in data needs and possible interpretations
are discussed. | |
