Accounting for uncertainty when mapping species distributions: The need for maps of ignorance (2011, background): “In general, unbiased data for large numbers of species acrosswidegeographical regions are the exception rather than the rule (Hortal et al., 2007), inhibiting the compilation of useful distribution maps formost species inneedof conservation strategies (Cayuela et al., 2009).”
Estimating optimal complexity for ecological niche models: A jackknife approach for species with small sample sizes (2013, background): “If possible, the paucity of occurrence data should be rectified by increasing efforts put into field surveys and data sharing (Cayuela et al., 2009).”
Effects of the number of presences on reliability and stability of MARS species distribution models: the importance of regional niche variation and ecological heterogeneity (2010, background): “On the other hand, to limit sampling effort to a minimum size would allow generation of accurate SMDs without wasting valuable resources, as data on species distribution can be extremely difficult or expensive to obtain, particularly in tropical areas (Raven & Wilson 1992; Cayuela et al. 2009).”
Predicting species distributions for conservation decisions (2013, background): “…in the peer-reviewed literature, and widespread claims of applicability to conservation problems (Guisan & Thuiller 2005; Rodriguez et al. 2007; Cayuela et al. 2009; Elith & Leathwick 2009; Franklin 2010; Peterson et al. 2011), evidence of the practical utility of these models in real-world…”
