There is still much uncertainty in predictions of which species will colonize new regions and habitats and what their impacts will be.
“Despite intensive research directed at modelling potential changes in the distribution of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species owing to climate and land‐use change, there is still much uncertainty in predictions of which species will colonize new regions and habitats and what their impacts will be (Elith, 2017; Capinha et al., 2018; Rocchini et al., 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
