TL;DR: There are many misconceptions concerning the use of presence-only models, including the misunderstanding that MAXENT, and other presence- only methods, relieve users from the constraints of survey design, and a series of recommendations that researchers analyse data in a presence–absence framework whenever possible, because fewer assumptions are required and inferences are made about clearly defined parameters such as occurrence probability.

TL;DR: This paper developed a hierarchical model to assess the community response of breeding birds in the Hudson River Valley, New York, to habitat fragmentation and analyzed the model using a Bayesian approach, and used the fitted model to make predictions of species richness within forest fragments of variable morphology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework for assessing management actions on biodiversity using a multi-species hierarchical model that estimates individual species occurrences, while accounting for imperfect detection of species.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates how IPMs can be successfully implemented by synthesizing the elements, advantages, and novel insights of this modeling approach, and highlights the latest developments that are explicitly relevant to the ecology and conservation of threatened species.

TL;DR: Case study applications show that that JDSDMs can be used for species ordination, and suggest future research that could incorporate phylogenetic relatedness or functional similarity, and propose that the approach could be used to monitor community dynamics at large spatial and temporal scales.
