TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the relationship between the geographic extent from which pseudo-absences are taken and model performance, and shape and importance of predictor variables using the MAXENT modeling method.

TL;DR: It is concluded that environmental suitability modeled from presence‐only data provides useful information on spatial patterns of abundance, and implications of this in addressing important problems in ecology are discussed.

TL;DR: This paper analysed 60 years of past climate change on the Australian continent, assessing the velocity of changes in temperature and precipitation, as well as changes in climatic niche space for 464 Australian birds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global analysis of future range change of common and widespread species shows that without mitigation, 57±6% of plants and 34±7% of animals are likely to lose ≥50% of their present climatic range by the 2080s.

TL;DR: It is suggested that climatic variability through the last 250 kyr impacted the northern and the southern forests differently, and sub-regional differences in climate dynamics will enhance the ability to understand those processes shaping high phylogeographic and species endemism, in the Neotropics and beyond.
