Improving Projections
Traditional species distribution models project species ranges under future environmental conditions,
but often exclude biotic interactions that may be important in setting range boundaries.
Here, we show how biotic and abiotic factors influence range projections of two decapods
in the Canadian Atlantic.
Compare Models
In this study, we tested whether including predator density or estimated predation rates as covariates in species distribution models were able to substantially improve the accuracy of range predictions. Use this tab to explore differences between our three model scenarios.Compare Years
Decapod abundances have varied over both time and space on the Canadian Atlantic Coast. Use this tab to compare temporal changes between groups of years using our three model outputs.
