We provide an overview of conceptual considerations in terminology related to ecological niche modeling and species distribution modeling, two near-synonymous (but not quite), relatively new tools in macroecology and biogeography. We show that a large majority of published studies taking advantage of these tools use terminology inappropriate to the biogeographic and ecological basis on which their application is founded. We suggest that only via rigorous and appropriate terminology will these tools achieve their fullest potential.
