TLDR
In this article, the authors used a simple parallelepiped approach to model individual endemic species' distributions and identified conservation priorities using a heuristic complementarity algorithm to maximize the inclusion of species in the overall system.About:

Evaluating predictive models of species’ distributions: criteria for selecting optimal models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used intrinsic and extrinsic measures of model performance to determine whether optimal models can be identified based on objective intrinsic criteria, without resorting to an independent test data set.

New developments in museum-based informatics and applications in biodiversity analysis
Catherine H. Graham,Catherine H. Graham,Simon Ferrier,Falk Huettman,Craig Moritz,A. Townsend Peterson +5 more
TL;DR: Information from natural history collections about the diversity, taxonomy and historical distributions of species worldwide is becoming increasingly available over the Internet, and its utility and limitations are critically reviewed.

TL;DR: To assess the geographical transferability of niche‐based species distribution models fitted with two modelling techniques, three different modelling techniques are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecological Performance of Protected Areas
TL;DR: A large and rapidly expanding literature bears on these issues, but it is highly fragmented, principally comprises particular case studies, and employs a diverse array of approaches as mentioned in this paper, and the major problems that remain unresolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting species’ geographic distributions based on ecological niche modeling
TL;DR: In this article, a model of species' ecological niches is developed using an artificial-intelligence algorithm, and projected onto geography to predict species' distributions, using the North American Breeding Bird Survey data.

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.

DOMAIN: a flexible modelling procedure for mapping potential distributions of plants and animals
TL;DR: A new procedure (DOMAIN) is described which computes potential distributions based on a range-standardized, point-to-point similarity metric and provides a simple, robust method for modelling potential distributions of plant and animal species.
