Minimum required number of specimen records to develop accurate species distribution models
TL;DR: A novel method using simulated species to identify the minimum number of records required to generate accurate SDMs for taxa of different pre-defined prevalence classes is presented, which is applicable to any taxonomic clade or group, study area or climate scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
A null‐model for significance testing of presence‐only species distribution models
Niels Raes,Hans ter Steege +1 more
TL;DR: Araijo and Guisan as mentioned in this paper showed that the standard validation procedures for an SDM are not sufficient to assess the applicability of SDM in a predictive context, and they showed that after SDM validation it is critical to assess whether the model's predictive performance can be validated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental correlates of tree biomass, basal area, wood specific gravity and stem density gradients in Borneo's tropical forests

TL;DR: In this paper, a large stem density,basal area, community wood density and AGB dataset was used to study and explain the spatial distribution of live tree above-ground biomass in an Asian tropical forest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fit-for-purpose: species distribution model performance depends on evaluation criteria - Dutch Hoverflies as a case study.

TL;DR: It is suggested that matching study aims with modelling approach is essential in Species Distribution Models, and suggestions how to do this for different modelling aims and species’ data characteristics are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Botanical richness and endemicity patterns of Borneo derived from species distribution models
TL;DR: In this paper, a Borneo-wide, quantitative assessment of botanical richness and endemicity at a high spatial resolution, and based on actual collection data, was provided, to overcome the bias in collection effort, and to be able to predict the presence and absence of species, even for areas where no collections have been made.
