“…Predictive species distribution models (Guisan & Zimmermann, 2000), SDMs, have emerged as powerful tools to identify important habitats for species and for use in biodiversity conservation (Gregr, Baumgartner, Laidre, & Palacios, 2013;Guisan et al, 2013;Lecours, 2017). SDMs can provide important ecological insights into speciesenvironment relationships (Bräger, Harraway, & Manly, 2003;Redfern et al, 2006), enable comparisons among species (Ingram, Walshe, Johnston, & Rogan, 2007;Mannocci et al, 2014;Redfern et al, 2013), identify key areas and habitats (Esteban et al, 2014;Pérez-Jorge et al, 2015), and help predict where species might be most at risk from anthropogenic activities (Ashe, Noren, & Williams, 2010;Redfern et al, 2013).…”
