applied to classify species occurrence in geographical, and possibly the temporal, dimensions. To train SDMs, binary labelled data (species presence or absence) together with environmental input data are used by the machine learning algorithm. In Table 1, an overview of methods used in species distribution modelling are shown, together with a short explanation, the cumulative number of papers mentioning the method (web of science, accessed 08/11/2017), and key references. In addition, in Fig. 1, the first report of the method in scientific literature is shown. The remainder of this section aims to shortly introduce these methods to guide readers to the most used ones. Acronyms of these methods can also be found in Table 1. Table 1 change from an experience (data) given a(n) performance or objective measure. Algorithms to facilitate machine learning are widely applied in many scientific fields such as artificial intelligence, telecommunica- tion and engineering of electronics (web of science, accessed on 13/09/ 2018). Machine learning algorithms can be used to train models with data so these models can make as good as possible predictions on new, ‘unseen’, data. Machine learning algorithms can be categorized based on whether output labels are (not) used for training, ie. (un-)supervised learning (Box 1). To guide the readers, Box 1 shows a number of defi- nitions used in the field of machine learning, also used in this review paper.

Iverview of literature review. The ‘subject of training’ is either parameter estimation, feature selection and/or hyperparameter optimization. Parameter estimation refers to the estimation of a unique yarameter values (see also Box 1). Hyperparameter optimization refers to the search for values of algorithm settings which influence an algorithm's performance. ‘Training robustness’ indicates the rob gorithm towards different samples of the data (by cross-validation, or bootstrapping) whereas ‘algorithm robustness’ is the robustness of the algorithm tested on the same data sample. The acronyms found objective function’ are found in Table 3. * = or no improvement 50 generations. ‘?’ = information was unclear or uncertain. Prev. = prevalence, i.e. number of species occurence over number of samples. x nput features.

Fig. 2. General process of iterating a number of chromosomes in an EA with a number of operators (panel A), and the difference between GAs and GP (panel B). The scheme in the upper panel is applicable for both GAs and GP, for which the encoding and way the operators are implemented differ (lower left and right pane respectively). + = plus operator, — = minus operator, * = multiplication operator, / = division operator.

Suggested EA or metaheuristic algorithm useful in species distribution modelling. Algorithms followed by a ‘*’ are suggested in this review, but have yet to be tested, or have only tested in a number of experiments within ecology. results comparable, it is of importance that data are stratified according to this prevalence. The choice for a number of folds, and repetitions will depend on the available computation resources, and the size of the data set. Precision will increase with a higher number of repetitions and folds, leading to a longer runtime. When data sets are small, and models are learned fast, a higher number is thus preferred. In contrast, when learning is slow, one can opt to choose fewer folds and repetitions (Kohavi, 1995). As discussed above, one can also consider lowering the number of function evaluations. context allowing for continuous code improvement and validation through modular scripting. For a good introduction on modular scripting applied to ecology, we refer to Golding et al. (2017). Typi- cally, open science is performed on code sharing platforms such as GitHub (https://github.com/).
