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.

TL;DR: This work proposes a standard protocol for reporting SDMs, and introduces a structured format for documenting and communicating the models, ensuring transparency and reproducibility, facilitating peer review and expert evaluation of model quality, as well as meta-analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond a warming fingerprint: individualistic biogeographic responses to heterogeneous climate change in California.
Giovanni Rapacciuolo,Sean P. Maher,Adam C. Schneider,Talisin T. Hammond,Meredith D. Jabis,Rachel E. Walsh,Kelly J. Iknayan,Genevieve K. Walden,Meagan F. Oldfather,David D. Ackerly,Steven R. Beissinger +10 more
TL;DR: Whether recent biogeographic patterns across California are consistent with a warming fingerprint is examined and a number of potential direct and indirect mechanisms for these responses are identified, including the influence of aspects of climate change other than temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic Associations of British Species Distributions Show Good Transferability in Time but Low Predictive Accuracy for Range Change
TL;DR: The need for caution is strongly emphasized when using SDMs to predict shifts in species distributions: high explanatory power on temporally-independent records – as assessed using widespread metrics – need not indicate a model’s ability to predict the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper , a comprehensive extinction risk assessment of reptiles is presented, which shows that at least 1,829 out of 10,196 species (21.1%) are threatened and represents 15.6 billion years of phylogenetic diversity.
