Incorporating abundance information and guiding variable selection for climate-based ensemble forecasting of species' distributional shifts.

Ecological niche models (ENMs) have increasingly been used to estimate the potential effects of climate change on species' distributions worldwide. Recently, predictions of species abundance have also been obtained with such models, though knowledge about the climatic variables affecting specie...
