Species are adapted to the environment they live in. Today, most environments are subjected to rapid global changes induced by human activity, most prominently land cover and climate changes. Such transformations can cause adjustments or disruptions in various eco-evolutionary processes. The repercussions of this can appear at the population level as shifted ranges and altered abundance patterns. This is where global change effects on species are usually detected first. To understand how eco-evolutionary processes act and interact to generate patterns of range and abundance and how these processes themselves are influenced by environmental conditions, spatially-explicit models provide effective tools. They estimate a species’ niche as the set of environmental conditions in which it can persist. However, the currently most commonly used models rely on static correlative associations that are established between a set of spatial predictors and observed species distributions. For this, they assume stationary conditions and are ...
