Use of niche models in invasive species risk assessments (2011, methodology): “This fact hinders full estimation of the FN of species and thus also of their potential distributions (Colwell and Rangel 2009; Rödder et al. 2009; Soberón and Nakamura 2009; Godsoe 2010), which constraints dramatically both the types of data and the techniques that can be used to built useful risk ”
Species Distribution Modeling and Ecological Niche Modeling: Getting the Concepts Right (2012, background): “It is certainly tempting to pass these concerns off as ‘just words’ (see, e.g., Godsoe 2010a).”
Applications and future challenges in marine species distribution modeling (2011, background): “However, often there is a trade off between increasing model complexity and generality (Godsoe, 2010) and under some circumstances an approximate understanding, well”
Ecological niche shifts and environmental space anisotropy: a cautionary note (2011, background): “…the fact that adaptation to local conditions may create subpopulations with slightly different ranges of tolerances (Labra et al., 2009), and that strictly speaking, one cannot ever measure the fundamental niche, but only assess the probability that an environment is part of it (Godsoe, 2009).”
Mechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches (2015, unknown): “…has had to find some means of approximating the fundamental niche, which has included simple assumption and postulation of niche size, position, and shape (Godsoe 2010); niches derived from mechanistic models (Kearney & Porter 2004); and niches estimated by correlational means (Schurr et al. 2012).”
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality (2014, background): “…factors, particularly biotic interactions and constraints to movement (i.e. biogeographical processes and occupancy dynamics; Hortal et al., 2010) that make up the realized niche (i.e. the BAM diagram of Soberón & Peterson, 2005; see Soberón, 2007; Soberón & Nakamura, 2009; Godsoe, 2010).”
Ecological niche modeling in Maxent: the importance of model complexity and the performance of model selection criteria. (2011, background): “…were all high for a model while the M score was still quite low, indicating that even high predictive accuracy on species geographic distributions may be achieved by models that do a poor job of estimating the underlying biology (for a more thorough discussion of this point see Godsoe 2010).”
Hypervolume concepts in niche‐ and trait‐based ecology (2018, methodology): “…on the data used to calibrate the model, acknowledging that non-niche factors may further limit the actual distribution of the species (Guisan and Zimmermann 2000, Godsoe 2010), and that this probability may be conditioned on unmeasured variables due to sampling bias (Soberón and Nakamura 2009).”
Partial versus Full Species Distribution Models (2012, background): “The presence of a species is determined by three factors that can be visualized by three overlapping circles, each representing a factor in the ‘BAM’- framework (Soberón & Peterson 2005; Soberón 2007; Godsoe 2010).”
Selecting pseudo‐absences for species distribution models: how, where and how many? (2012, methodology): “Each fundamental niche is therefore an ellipsoid in the principal component space, as previously used by Godsoe (2010) and Soberon & Nakamura (2009), although the geographical points falling within that environmental ellipsoid can result in a distorted ellipsoid, depending on its position in the…”
What does ecological modelling model? A proposed classification of ecological niche models based on their underlying methods (2011, methodology): “Grinnell (1917) understood the niche as a subdivision of the habitat containing the environmental conditions that enable individuals of a species to survive and reproduce, based on broad-scale variables (climate) that are not affected by species density (Hirzel and Le Lay, 2008; Wiens et al.”
