The MIAmaxent R package: Variable transformation and model selection for species distribution models (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The widely used “Maxent” software for modeling species distributions from presence‐only data (Phillips et al., Ecological Modelling, 190, 2006, 231) tends to produce models with high‐predictive performance but low‐ecological ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method has gained widespread use for distribution modelling, mostly because of the practical simplicity offered by the maxent.jar software. Whilst MaxEnt was originally described as a machine ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Microhabitat changes are thought to be among the main drivers of diversification. However, this conclusion is mostly based on studies on vertebrates. Here, we investigate the influence of ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background Microsatellites are frequently used genetic markers in a wide range of applications, primarily due to their high length polymorphism levels that can easily be genotyped by fragment length analysis. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The tropical alpine ecosystem in eastern Africa is highly fragmented among biological ‘sky islands’, where populations of frost-tolerant organisms are isolated from each other by a ‘sea’ of tropical lowlands. One-third of ...
