Use of niche models in invasive species risk assessments (2011, background): “Models for invasive species have to date generally been trained on native distributional areas (e.g., Peterson 2003; Ficetola et al. 2007), which have the advantage of having a higher probability of being in distributional equilibrium.”
Predicting potential distributions of invasive species: where to go from here? (2010, methodology): “…of environmental and distributional data, have been successfully applied to describe and extrapolate presence/absence patterns for large numbers of potentially invading species and over large areas (Daehler & Carino, 2000; Roura-Pascual et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2005; Ficetola et al., 2007).”
Where will conflicts between alien and rare species occur after climate and land-use change? A test with a novel combined modelling approach (2011, background): “By targeting monitoring efforts for areas where highest concern conflicts are expected to be occurring (or to occur in the near future), early signals of impacts may be detected and the costeffectiveness of the monitoring programs will thus be improved (Nehrbass et al. 2006; Ficetola et al. 2007).”
A global assessment of alien amphibian impacts in a formal framework (2016, background): “Furthermore, the extent of the invaded range of some amphibians such as the American bullfrog, the cane toad or the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis (Daudin) has enabled researchers to test numerous hypotheses related to invasion biology and evolutionary ecology (Ficetola et al., 2007; Measey et a”
Knowing the past to predict the future: land‐use change and the distribution of invasive bullfrogs (2010, methodology): “We restricted our analysis to an area of high bioclimatic suitability (180 km 132 km) individuated by Ficetola et al. (2007a), surrounding the introduction point.”
Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, background): “the likelihood of expansion of the current distribution of Cuban treefrogs in North America [143], cane toads in Australia [144], and American bullfrogs in various parts of the world [145].”
Predicting the potential distribution of the alien invasive American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in Brazil (2008, methodology): “Ecological niche modeling has also been applyed to the prediction of the invasive potential of non-native species (Peterson and Vieglais 2001; Peterson et al. 2003; Papes and Peterson 2003; Ficetola et al. 2007).”
Different climatic envelopes among invasive populations may lead to underestimations of current and future biological invasions (2009, methodology): “…in realized niche and ecological niche modelling Ecological niche models calibrated on the realized climatic niche of native ranges have been used to predict species distributions in invasive regions (Peterson et al., 2003; Peterson, 2003; MartinezMeyer & Peterson, 2006; Ficetola et al., 2007).”
Potential range of the invasive fish rotan (Perccottus glenii) in the Holarctic (2011, methodology): “Our models focused on large scale climatic variables, but small scale habitat features can also be important (Ficetola et al. 2007).”
Modelling invasion for a habitat generalist and a specialist plant species (2008, background): “Most studies use a single model to make predictions for a species of interest (Ficetola et al ., 2007; Zhu et al ., 2007), while model comparisons tend to test multiple models for a single species (Phillips et al ., 2006; Stockman et al ., 2006; Pearson et al ., 2007) or test individual models for…”
MaxEnt versus MaxLike: empirical comparisons with ant species distributions (2013, background): “These distribution maps have figured prominently in modeling the distributions of invasive species (Ficetola et al. 2007, Fitzpatrick et al. 2007, Ward v www.esajournals.org 1 May 2013 v Volume 4(5) v Article 55 2007), forecasting geographic range shifts caused by climatic change (Thuiller et al.…”
Predicting the Potential Distribution of Paeonia veitchii (Paeoniaceae) in China by Incorporating Climate Change into a Maxent Model (2019, methodology): “Maxent modeling has been widely applied to plant and animal conservation [8,15], endangered species management [16], invasive species control [6,17], and in the regionalization of agriculture [4,6,16].”
Climate change increases the risk of invasion by the Yellow-legged hornet (2013, background): “…2005), correlational approaches based on ecological niche modelling are widely used even for invasive taxa (Chen et al., 2007; Peterson, 2003; Ficetola et al., 2007; Peterson et al., 2003; Peterson and Vieglais, 2001; Roura-Pascual et al., 2009; Thuiller et al., 2005a) and can be useful for…”
