The art of modelling range-shifting species
- J. Elith, M. Kearney, S. Phillips
- Biology
- 1 December 2010
Summary
1. Species are shifting their ranges at an unprecedented rate through human transportation and environmental change. Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are frequently applied for… Expand
Mechanistic niche modelling: combining physiological and spatial data to predict species' ranges.
- M. Kearney, W. Porter
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 April 2009
Species distribution models (SDMs) use spatial environmental data to make inferences on species' range limits and habitat suitability. Conceptually, these models aim to determine and map components… Expand
Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation
- R. Huey, M. Kearney, A. Krockenberger, J. Holtum, M. Jess, S. Williams
- Biology, Medicine
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B…
- 19 June 2012
A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental change, its… Expand
The potential for behavioral thermoregulation to buffer “cold-blooded” animals against climate warming
- M. Kearney, R. Shine, W. Porter
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 10 March 2009
Increasing concern about the impacts of global warming on biodiversity has stimulated extensive discussion, but methods to translate broad-scale shifts in climate into direct impacts on living… Expand
Declining body size: a third universal response to warming?
- J. Gardner, A. Peters, M. Kearney, L. Joseph, R. Heinsohn
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 June 2011
A recently documented correlate of anthropogenic climate change involves reductions in body size, the nature and scale of the pattern leading to suggestions of a third universal response to climate… Expand
Thermal-safety margins and the necessity of thermoregulatory behavior across latitude and elevation
- J. Sunday, A. Bates, +4 authors R. Huey
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 10 March 2014
Significance We find that most terrestrial ectotherms are insufficiently tolerant of high temperatures to survive the warmest potential body temperatures in exposed habitats and must therefore… Expand
Predicting species distributions for conservation decisions
- A. Guisan, R. Tingley, +20 authors Y. Buckley
- Computer Science, Biology
- Ecology letters

TLDR
Correlation and process in species distribution models: bridging a dichotomy
- C. Dormann, S. Schymanski, +8 authors Alexander Singer
- 1 December 2012
Within the field of species distribution modelling an apparent dichotomy exists between process-based and correlative approaches, where the processes are explicit in the former and implicit in the… Expand
Habitat, environment and niche: what are we modelling?
- M. Kearney
- Biology
- 1 October 2006
The terms 'habitat', 'environment' and 'niche' are used inconsistently, and with some confusion, within the ecological literature on species distribution and abundance modelling. Here I suggest… Expand
Hybridization, glaciation and geographical parthenogenesis.
- M. Kearney
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 September 2005
Parthenogenetic organisms are all female and reproduce clonally. The transition from sex to parthenogenesis is frequently associated with a major change in geographical distribution, often biasing… Expand
