Range bagging: a new method for ecological niche modelling from presence-only data
The ecological niche is the set of environments in which a population of a species can persist without introduction of individuals from other locations. A good mathematical or computational representation of the niche is a prerequisite to addressing many questions in ecology, biogeography, evolutionary biology and conservation. A particularly challenging question for ecological niche modelling ...
متن کاملSample selection bias and presence-only distribution models: implications for background and pseudo-absence data.
Most methods for modeling species distributions from occurrence records require additional data representing the range of environmental conditions in the modeled region. These data, called background or pseudo-absence data, are usually drawn at random from the entire region, whereas occurrence collection is often spatially biased toward easily accessed areas. Since the spatial bias generally re...
متن کاملPresence-only data and the em algorithm.
SUMMARY In ecological modeling of the habitat of a species, it can be prohibitively expensive to determine species absence. Presence-only data consist of a sample of locations with observed presences and a separate group of locations sampled from the full landscape, with unknown presences. We propose an expectation-maximization algorithm to estimate the underlying presence-absence logistic mode...

متن کاملInference from presence-only data; the ongoing controversy.
Presence-only data abounds in ecology, often accompanied by a background sample. Although many interesting aspects of the species' distribution can be learned from such data, one cannot learn the overall species occurrence probability, or prevalence, without making unjustified simplifying assumptions. In this forum article we question the approach of Royle et al. (2012) that claims to be able t...
