Journal ArticleDOI

ecospat: an R package to support spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions

TL;DR: The aim of the ecospat package is to make available novel tools and methods to support spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions in a coherent workflow and stimulate the use of comprehensive approaches in spatial modelling of species and community distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Within-taxon niche structure: niche conservatism, divergence and predicted effects of climate change

TL;DR: Two divergent datasets are addressed, one on sister species and subspecies from the European herpetofauna, the other on subspecies of breeding birds in North America, on patterns of within-species niche variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial predictions at the community level: from current approaches to future frameworks.

TL;DR: This review focuses on models that were developed for generating spatially explicit predictions of communities, with a particular focus on species richness, composition, relative abundance and related attributes, with special emphasis on conservation needs under climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disentangling biotic interactions, environmental filters, and dispersal limitation as drivers of species co-occurrence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare two community modelling frameworks that integrate a combination of environmental and spatial data to identify positive and negative species associations from presence-and absence matrices, and incorporate an additional comparison using joint species distribution models (JSDM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Using species richness and functional traits predictions to constrain assemblage predictions from stacked species distribution models

TL;DR: A first test of the SESAM framework by integrating macroecological constraints into S-SDM predictions, and one that is able to improve compositional predictions is reported.
