“…Cautions are need for the growing amount of herpetofauna import 43 through the coasts. Since many studies revealed that herpetofauna of the Korean Peninsula are especially susceptible to climate change 28,[44][45][46] , the southern ecosystems need a particular conservation concern as habitats there will be disappeared sooner than later [45][46][47][48] .…”

Functional traits are characteristics of species that affect their fitness and ecosystem, and they greatly influence ecological niches. Thus, biodiversity assessment based on functional groups rather than species per se can more realistically reflect the ecological niche space. As essential players of ecosystem functions, herpetofauna are appropriate subjects of functional trait-based analyses. In this study, using a nationwide dataset and applying trait information and ecological niche modeling, the richness within each functional group, and the taxonomic and functional diversity indices of South Korean herpetofauna were visualized to identify and compare the geographic distributions. The results revealed that the reptile community seemed more locally diverse with more overlapping randomized patterns among groups than amphibians, while amphibians showed wider distributions and a higher within-grid occurrence ratio. Functional diversity indices of reptiles also showed more randomized geographic patterns with higher levels at Jejudo Island than amphibians. The findings of this study may help to identify biodiversity hot spots and understand its ecosystem health. Increasing survey data and trait information will improve the assessment.

“…Species distribution models (SDMs) are important for analyzing the spatial and temporal processes that make up a species’ life cycle. Additionally, SDMs for historical timelines can also offer ecological and evolutionary data on the historical changes of species distribution over time ( Park et al., 2022 ). Past models can be used to explain phylogeographic patterns and speciation processes, as well as to predict historical hotspots and potential migration routes ( Park et al., 2022 ).…”

“…This method proved effective and economical for gathering species occurrences where scientifically designed surveys would require time‐consuming field efforts (Johnson et al, 2020), with successful applications also on invasive alien species (Grez et al, 2022; Maistrello et al, 2016; Werenkraut et al, 2020). In recent years, citizen science initiatives have increasingly been used by researchers as a source of occurrence data to model the distribution of species in both native (Arenas‐Castro et al, 2022; Milanesi et al, 2020; Park et al, 2022; Stuber et al, 2022) and invaded ranges (Di Febbraro et al, 2019; Giuntini et al, 2022; Tran et al, 2022). The availability of abundant and widely distributed occurrence records represented a key characteristic behind the growing importance of citizen science initiatives in modelling studies, especially as providers of presence‐only data (Fletcher et al, 2019; Johnston et al, 2022).…”

Citizen science initiatives have been increasingly used by researchers as a source of occurrence data to model the distribution of alien species. Since citizen science presence‐only data suffer from some fundamental issues, efforts have been made to combine these data with those provided by scientifically structured surveys. Surprisingly, only a few studies proposing data integration evaluated the contribution of this process to the effective sampling of species' environmental niches and, consequently, its effect on model predictions on new time intervals. We relied on niche overlap analyses, machine learning classification algorithms and ecological niche models to compare the ability of data from citizen science and scientific surveys, along with their integration, in capturing the realized niche of 13 invasive alien species in Italy. Moreover, we assessed differences in current and future invasion risk predicted by each data set under multiple global change scenarios. We showed that data from citizen science and scientific surveys captured similar species niches though highlighting exclusive portions associated with clearly identifiable environmental conditions. In terrestrial species, citizen science data granted the highest gain in environmental space to the pooled niches, determining an increased future biological invasion risk. A few aquatic species modelled at the regional scale reported a net loss in the pooled niches compared to their scientific survey niches, suggesting that citizen science data may also lead to contraction in pooled niches. For these species, models predicted a lower future biological invasion risk. These findings indicate that citizen science data may represent a valuable contribution to predicting future spread of invasive alien species, especially within national‐scale programmes. At the same time, citizen science data collected on species poorly known to citizen scientists, or in strictly local contexts, may strongly affect the niche quantification of these taxa and the prediction of their future biological invasion risk.
