Human ecological niches and ranges during the LGM in Europe derived from an application of eco-cultural niche modeling (2008, background): “…of climate change on species’ distributions, the geographic potential of species’ invasions, and anticipation of emerging disease transmission risk (Adjemian et al., 2006; Martinez-Meyer et al., 2004; Peterson et al., 2004; Sanchez-Cordero and Martinez-Meyer, 2000; Soberón and Peterson, 2004).”
Species’ Distribution Modeling for Conservation Educators and Practitioners (2010, background): “Predicted future climate scenarios can be used to estimate the potential impacts of climate change on biodiversity (e.g. Thomas et al. 2004; see case study 3), whilst simulations of past climates can be used to test the predictive ability of models (e.g. Martinez-Meyer et al., 2004).”
Five (or so) challenges for species distribution modelling (2006, methodology): “An alternative is to make backward projections (hind-casting) of species distributions and use the temporal record for model validation (e.g. Martinez-Meyer et al., 2004; Martı́nez-Meyer & Peterson, 2006).”
Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “These studies are compelling because they suggest maintenance of trophic structure in spite of significant environmental change (Martinez-Meyer et al. 2004); however, they also support the sensitivity of individual species to climate.”
The ability of climate envelope models to predict the effect of climate change on species distributions (2006, unknown): “MMs are considered superior for understanding the relationship between climate and the distribution of species (Woodward & Rochefort, 1991; Malanson et al., 1992; Prentice et al., 1992; also see the discussion in Guisan & Zimmermann, 2000) and have been used to study the distribution of a lizard i”
Species Distribution Modeling in the Tropics: Problems, Potentialities, and the Role of Biological Data for Effective Species Conservation (2009, background): “[66] clearly demonstrated the importance of data quality for model performance.”
Ecological niches and potential geographical distributions of Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) and Natal fruit fly (Ceratitis rosa) (2007, background): “…is based on the idea of modelling species’ ecological niches, which have been shown to constitute longterm stable constraints on species’ potential geographical distributions (Peterson et al., 1999; Peterson, 2003; Raxworthy et al., 2003; Martı́nez-Meyer et al., 2004; Wiens & Graham, 2005).”
Predicted impact of climate change on European bats in relation to their biogeographic patterns (2010, methodology): “Current studies suggest that effective species niches are conservative over time (Martı́nez-Meyer et al., 2004), meaning that when environmental conditions change dramatically outside of the ecological conditions to which populations are currently adapted, there is either migration towards new areas”
Ecological niche modelling of montane mammals in the Great Basin, North America: examining past and present connectivity of species across basins and ranges (2009, background): “If these assumptions are met, ENMs can be projected onto palaeoclimate reconstructions to identify past potential distributions (Hugall et al., 2002; Martı́nez-Meyer et al., 2004).”
A case for incorporating phylogeography and landscape genetics into species distribution modelling approaches to improve climate adaptation and conservation planning (2010, background): “Phylogeography has most often been applied to explore the impact of Quaternary climate oscillations on the distribution and resilience of species (Martinez-Meyer et al., 2004; Carstens & Richards, 2007; Bhagwat & Willis, 2008; Kearns et al., 2009).”
The habitat preferences of marine mammals west of Scotland (UK) (2007, background): “As such, while a species distribution may change in the short-term as local conditions change, its niche is likely to remain unchanged, making it a relatively robust entity ( Meyer et al., 2004 ).”
Ice age distributions of European small mammals: insights from species distribution modelling (2009, methodology): “The first set was successfully used by Martı́nez-Meyer et al. (2004) to model the LGM and present-day distributions of a set of North American mammals.”
