Assessing extinction-risk of endangered plants using species distribution models: a case study of habitat depletion caused by the spread of greenhouses (2009, background): “This can have at least two causes: (1) a well-known behaviour of the presence-only based algorithms, which tends to overestimate the potential distribution area, because the models represent the distribution of the fundamental niche (not the real one) of the species (Zaniewski et al. 2002); and (2) ”
Hard and soft allopatry: physically and ecologically mediated modes of geographic speciation (2010, background): “This type of barrier can occur in the absence of any substantial physiographic transition or other geological feature such as a river or mountain range impeding dispersal (e.g. Costa et al., 2008).”
Modeling Species Distribution and Change Using Random Forest (2011, background): “In mountainous terrains patterns of precipitation and topography are the primary drivers of species occurrence and of the formation of plant communities (Whittaker and Niering 1975; Costa et al. 2008).”
The importance of biotic interactions in species distribution models: a test of the Eltonian noise hypothesis using parrots (2014, background): “The interplay between these factors will determine species distributions [see the BAM (biotic, abiotic and migration) diagram in Sober! on (2007)], and teasing apart the relative contribution of these factors for different groups of organisms remains a major challenge (Endler, 1982; Costa et al., 20”
Sampling bias and the use of ecological niche modeling in conservation planning: a field evaluation in a biodiversity hotspot (2010, background): “In these cases, contrasting where the species is predicted to occur with where the species does occur can provide insights into interesting biogeographical or ecological factors shaping the species’ distribution (Anderson et al. 2002; Costa et al. 2008).”
