DESCRIPTION:Dr Antoine Guisan\, Professor\, Spatial Ecology Group\, FGSE &
  FBM\, UNIL\nAbstract:\nWith the increasing anthropogenization of the worl
 d\, spatial approach to conservation planning become increasingly needed. 
 In the last two decades\, species distribution models (SDMs) have become c
 entral tools to generalize information on the distributions of community\,
  biodiversity\, ecosystems and their services in time and space. As such\,
  they not only represented the major source of projections for major biodi
 versity assessments\, but additionally bear a high potential for supportin
 g spatial conservation prioritization and landscape planning. Here\, I wil
 l review recent advances and ways forward in SDM science\, and illustrate 
 some promising use of SDMs for spatial conservation planning in anthropoge
 nized mountain landscapes.\nWith the increasing anthropogenization of the

 pogenized mountain landscapes.\n\nShort biography:\nProfessor Antoine Guis
 an’s main focus is on spatial predictive modelling of species distributi
 ons\, and the communities and ecosystems they form. Besides theoretical an
 d methodological interests in understanding and predicting species distrib
 utions\, he is developing models for various applied purposes\, such as ra
 re species management\, anticipating biological invasions\, and assessing 
 the potential impact of climate and landuse changes on biodiversity and ec
 osystem services.\n
