Ecological niche theory holds that species distributions are shaped by a large and complex suite of interacting factors. Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly used to describe species’ niches and predict the effects of future environmental change, including climate change. Currently, SDMs often fail to capture the complexity of species’...

Although climate acts as a fundamental constraint on the distribution of
organisms, understanding how this relationship between climate and distribution varies over a
species’ range is critical for addressing the potential impacts of accelerated climate change on
biodiversity. Bioclimatic niche models provide compelling evidence that many species will
experience range...
