摘要: Data on the occurrence of species are widely used to inform design reserve networks. These data contain commission errors (when a is mistakenly thought be present) and omission absent), rates two types error inversely related. Point locality can minimize errors, but those obtained from museum collections generally sparse, suffer substantial spatial bias large errors. Geographic ranges generate because they assume homogenous distributions. Predicted distribution make explicit inferences their depend model structure, variables that determine resolution. Omission lead identifying networks areas for conservation action smaller than required centred known occurrences, thus affecting comprehensiveness, representativeness efficiency selected areas. Commission selecting not relevant conservation, adequacy Conservation plans should include an estimation in underlying explicitly use this information influence planning outcomes.
