Aim Tropical forests have been recognized as important global carbon sinks and sources. However, many uncertainties about the spatial distribution of live tree above-ground biomass (AGB) remain,…
A null‐model for significance testing of presence‐only species distribution models
Species' distribution models (SDMs) attempt to predict the potential distribution of species by interpolating identified relationships between species' presence/ absence, or presence-only data on one…

Although Dipterocarp species richness was generally lower at the LGM, areas of high species richness were mostly found off the current islands and on the emergent Sunda Shelf, indicating substantial species migration and mixing during the transitions between the Quaternary glacial maxima and warm periods such as the present.

A novel method using simulated species to identify the minimum number of records required to generate accurate SDMs for taxa of different pre-defined prevalence classes is presented, which is applicable to any taxonomic clade or group, study area or climate scenario.

This pipeline provides a conservative estimate of a species’ area of occupancy, within an area slightly larger than its extent of occurrence, compatible to e.g. IUCN red list assessments.
Botanical richness and endemicity patterns of Borneo derived from species distribution models
This study provides a Borneo-wide, quantitative assessment of botanical richness and endemicity at a high spatial resolution, and based on actual collection data. To overcome the bias in collection…
The Contribution of DNA Metabarcoding to Fungal Conservation: Diversity Assessment, Habitat Partitioning and Mapping Red-Listed Fungi in Protected Coastal Salix repens Communities in the Netherlands

- 17 June 2014
The first kingdom-wide fungal diversity assessment in S. repens coastal dune vegetation detects numerous red listed species in samples often from previously unknown locations, indicating that some of the fungal species currently considered rare may be more abundant in Dutch S.repens communities than previously thought.
Similar but not equivalent: ecological niche comparison across closely–related Mexican white pines

By quantitatively assessing the niche overlap, similarity and equivalency of Mexican white pines, the results prove that the distribution of one species cannot be implied by the distributed of another, even if these taxa are considered closely related.
