A statistical explanation of MaxEnt for ecologists

Jane Elith, Steven J. Phillips, Trevor Hastie et al. · 25 Nov 2010

MaxEnt is a program for modelling species distributions from presence-only species records. This paper is written for ecologists and describes the MaxEnt model from a statistical perspective, making explicit links between the structure of the model, decisions required in producing a modelled distribution, and knowledge about the species and the data that might affect those…

Naturalization and invasion of alien plants: concepts and definitions

David M. Richardson, Petr Pyšek, Marcel Rejmánek et al. · 1 Mar 2000

Abstract. Much confusion exists in the English‐language literature on plant invasions concerning the terms ‘naturalized’ and ‘invasive’ and their associated concepts. Several authors have used these terms in proposing schemes for conceptualizing the sequence of events from introduction to invasion, but often imprecisely, erroneously or in contradictory ways. This greatly complicates the formulation of robust…

Effects of sample size on the performance of species distribution models

Mary S. Wisz, Robert J. Hijmans, Jin Li et al. · 12 Aug 2008

ABSTRACT A wide range of modelling algorithms is used by ecologists, conservation practitioners, and others to predict species ranges from point locality data. Unfortunately, the amount of data available is limited for many taxa and regions, making it essential to quantify the sensitivity of these algorithms to sample size. This is the first study to…

Evaluation of consensus methods in predictive species distribution modelling

Mathieu Marmion, Miia Parviainen, Miska Luoto et al. · 8 Dec 2008

ABSTRACT Aim Spatial modelling techniques are increasingly used in species distribution modelling. However, the implemented techniques differ in their modelling performance, and some consensus methods are needed to reduce the uncertainty of predictions. In this study, we tested the predictive accuracies of five consensus methods, namely Weighted Average (WA), Mean(All), Median(All), Median(PCA), and Best, for…

The importance of correcting for sampling bias in MaxEnt species distribution models

Stephanie Kramer‐Schadt, Jürgen Niedballa, John D. Pilgrim et al. · 2 Jul 2013

Abstract Aim Advancement in ecological methods predicting species distributions is a crucial precondition for deriving sound management actions. Maximum entropy (MaxEnt) models are a popular tool to predict species distributions, as they are considered able to cope well with sparse, irregularly sampled data and minor location errors. Although a fundamental assumption of MaxEnt is that…

Diversity and Distributions template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Diversity and Distributions format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Diversity and Distributions template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Diversity and Distributions use?
Diversity and Distributions uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Diversity and Distributions 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Diversity and Distributions?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Diversity and Distributions document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Diversity and Distributions template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Diversity and Distributions format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Diversity and Distributions?
Diversity and Distributions is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Diversity and Distributions template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Diversity and Distributions PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Diversity and Distributions template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Diversity and Distributions template cost?
You can start writing in the Diversity and Distributions template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Diversity and Distributions PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
