The most commonly used approaches to describe distributions of species and biodiversity are known as correlative (syn. phenomenological) species distribution models (Elith & Leathwick, 2009). These methods aim to describe the patterns, not the mechanisms, in the association between species occurrences and environmental data (mainly climatic data). Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – U...
