Improving transferability of introduced species' distribution models: new tools to forecast the spread of a highly invasive seaweed.

The utility of species distribution models for applications in invasion and global change biology is critically dependent on their transferability between regions or points in time, respectively. We introduce two methods that aim to improve the transferability of presence-only models: density-based...
