Abstract
One of the most important tasks in modern ecology theory is the formalization of the ecological niche. Advances in spatial analysis techniques and the availability of global databases on biodiversity and environmental parameters provide an unprecedented opportunity to integrate ecological niche components within a correlational modeling approach. The paper presents methods for formalizing biotic, spatial (environmental accessibility) and anthropogenic restrictions on the distribution of biological objects (components of an ecological niche) when constructing SDM (Species distribution modeling) and ENM (Ecological niche modeling) models.
