"A valuable and timely synthetic overview, this volume does a particularly nice job of laying out the conceptual challenges and technical subtleties that need to be considered in order to develop rigorous, niche-based models of species' distributions, and then of illustrating these issues with a wide range of applications. I warmly recommend this book to a broad range of readers."--Robert D. Holt, University of Florida
"When it comes to explaining the theory and practice of niche modeling and species distribution modeling, this is the right book at the right time by the right authors. The book provides a vigorous exploration of a key concept--the ecological niche--and an equally vigorous discussion of approaches to model niches. Essential reading for novice and expert alike."--Robert Guralnick, University of Colorado Boulder
