Abstract
Species distribution modeling (SDM) has come a long way since its inception. Starting as simple bioclimatic envelope models based on expert knowledge, species distribution models (SDMs) have evolved into complex and sophisticated models that incorporate multiple sources of data and machine learning algorithms. Today, SDMs play a crucial role in addressing pressing conservation and management issues, including the impacts of climate change on species ranges and the as-sessment of species vulnerability to extinction. In this article, we will embark on a journey through the history, present, and future of SDM, exploring its evolution from bioclimatic envelopes to machine learning. We will also provide practical tips on how to use SDMs effectively and discuss the exciting future developments in this field. Whether you are a seasoned SDM expert or new to this field, this article will provide valuable insights into the exciting world of SDM. By exploring the rich history and current state of the field, we hope to shed light on the tremendous potential of SDM for improving our understanding of the distribution of species in a changing world.
