Improving transferability of introduced species' distribution models: New tools to forecast the spread of a highly invasive seaweed Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
The utility of species distribution models for applications in invasion and global change biology is critically dependent on their transferability between regions or points in time, respectively. We introduce two methods that aim to improve the transferability of presence-only models: density-based occurrence thinning and performance-based predictor selection. We evaluate the effect of these methods along with the impact of the choice of model ...
