GUEVARA, Lázaro. Paleodistribution modelling for planning the growth of natural history collections. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2019, vol.90, e902953. Epub 04-Mar-2019. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2019.90.2953.
This note aims to highlight the use of ecological niche models and paleodistributions (or past distributions) as a framework for planning surveys and natural history collection growth based on spatio-temporal hypotheses. I discuss why the usefulness of considering paleodistributions goes beyond suggesting areas that could harbor unknown records, by helping to identify biodiversity data gaps that can be crucial to studying evolutionary and ecological processes. This framework would allow for well-planned growth of collections and stimulate future long-term and multidisciplinary evolutionary research.
