Hannah L. Owens,Lindsay P. Campbell,L. Lynnette Dornak,Erin E. Saupe,Narayani Barve,Jorge Soberón,Kate Ingenloff,Andrés Lira-Noriega,Christopher Michael Hensz,Corinne Myers,A. Townsend Peterson +10 more
TL;DR: Software for 1-dimensional plots of species' responses to environment, and for MOP calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity informatics: managing and applying primary biodiversity data
TL;DR: By combining presences of species data with electronic cartography via a number of algorithms, estimating niches of species and their areas of distribution becomes feasible at resolutions one to three orders of magnitude higher than it was possible a few years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using niche-based GIS modeling to test geographic predictions of competitive exclusion and competitive release in South American pocket mice
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential distributions of two spiny pocket mice (Heteromys australis and H. anomalus) in northwestern South America using specimen localities, environmental data, and the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-Set Prediction (GARP) were superimposed to examine known distributional records in areas of potential sympatry between the two species.

TL;DR: Of high importance is the identification of a widely applicable set of transferability metrics, with appropriate tools to quantify the sources and impacts of prediction uncertainty under novel conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical perspectives on species borders: from traditional biogeography to global change
Camille Parmesan,Steve Gaines,Laura Marina Boria González,Dawn M. Kaufman,Joel G. Kingsolver,A. Townsend Peterson,Rafe Sagarin +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline several empirical approaches to developing and testing hypotheses about the determinants of species borders and highlight environmental change as an important opportunity - arguing that these unplanned, large-scale manipulations can be used to study mechanisms which limit species distributions.
