Mapping Species Distributions - Spatial Inference and Prediction (Paperback)

Maps of species' distributions or habitat suitability are required
for many aspects of environmental research, resource management and
conservation planning. These include biodiversity assessment,
reserve design, habitat management and restoration, species and
habitat conservation plans and predicting the effects of
environmental change on species and ecosystems. The proliferation
of methods and uncertainty regarding their effectiveness can be
daunting to researchers, resource managers and conservation
planners alike. Franklin summarises the methods used in species
distribution modeling (also called niche modeling) and presents a
framework for spatial prediction of species distributions based on
the attributes (space, time, scale) of the data and questions being
asked. The framework links theoretical ecological models of species
distributions to spatial data on species and environment, and
statistical models used for spatial prediction. Providing practical
guidelines to students, researchers and practitioners in a broad
range of environmental sciences including ecology, geography,
conservation biology, and natural resources management.
