Species versus within-species niches: a multi-modelling approach to assess range size of a spring-dwelling amphibian

Abstract Species Distribution Models (SDMs) can be used to estimate potential geographic ranges and derive indices to assess species conservation status. However, habitat-specialist species require fine-scale range estimates that reflect resource dependency. Furthermore, local adaptation of intraspe...
