Updated distribution and biogeography of amphibians and reptiles of Europe (2014, methodology): “The coarse 50 × 50 km occurrence data were not suitable for sophisticated analyses (e.g. calculation of ecological niche models; Sillero, 2011), and these were not the main goal of this compilation.”
Species Distribution Modeling and Ecological Niche Modeling: Getting the Concepts Right (2012, background): “Although other ‘vocabularies’ have been offered (Godsoe 2010a; Sillero 2011), they have not successfully captured the complexity of the situation: species are distributed in both geographic and environmental dimensions (Colwell & Rangel 2009), and both geographic and ecological distributions must…”
Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) habitat preferences using data from two platforms of opportunity (2012, background): “Cañadas and Hammond (2008) showed chlorophyll concentration to be correlated with common dolphin abundance but did not determine the species spatial ecological niche (Sillero, 2011).”
