Species distribution models (SDMs) are basic tools in ecology, biogeography, and biodiversity. The usefulness of SDMs has expanded beyond the realm of ecological sciences, and their application in other research areas is currently frequent, e.g., spatial epidemiology. In any research area, the princ...
