Impacts of land cover data selection and trait parameterisation on dynamic modelling of species' range expansion.

Dynamic models for range expansion provide a promising tool for assessing species' capacity to respond to climate change by shifting their ranges to new areas. However, these models include a number of uncertainties which may affect how successfully they can be applied to climate change oriente...
