Abstract: Species distribution models have become important tools for studying changes in biodiversity. Most studies use these models to evaluate the impact of global changes on biodiversity. For that purpose, scenarios are used that are based on changes in land use and/or land cover, or on climatic changes. However, the temporal transferability of such models depends heavily on modeling methods, environmental predictors and the ecological traits of species. Here, we evaluate the power of modeling tools to predict changes in bird species abundances based on observed changes in land cover.
