TL;DR: This work compared 16 modelling methods over 226 species from 6 regions of the world, creating the most comprehensive set of model comparisons to date and found that presence-only data were effective for modelling species' distributions for many species and regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpretation of models of fundamental ecological niches and species' distributional areas
TL;DR: This paper outlines such a formal basis to clarify the use of techniques applied to the challenge of estimating 'ecological niches', and analyzes example situations that can be modeled using these techniques, and clarify interpretation of results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grinnellian and Eltonian niches and geographic distributions of species.
TL;DR: It is argued that it is useful to define Grinnellian and Eltonian niches on the basis of the types of variables used to calculate them, the natural spatial scale at which they can be measured, and the dispersal of the individuals over the environment.

Ecological Niches and Geographic Distributions
Andrew Townsend Peterson,Jorge Soberón,Richard G. Pearson,Robert P. Anderson,Enrique Martínez-Meyer,M Nakamura,Miguel B. Araújo +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography, linking individual and population-level processes to geographic distributions and biodiversity patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservatism of Ecological Niches in Evolutionary Time
TL;DR: Reciprocal geographic predictions based on ecological niche models of sister taxon pairs of birds, mammals, and butterflies in southern Mexico indicate niche conservatism over several million years of independent evolution but little conservatism at the level of families.
