In a recent article (Dormann etal., 2012, Journal of Biogeography, 39, 21192131), we compared different approaches to species distribution modelling and depicted modelling approaches along an axis from purely correlative' to forward process-based' models. In their correspondence, Kriticos etal. (2013, Journal of Biogeography, doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2012.02791.x) challenge this view, claiming that our continuum representation neglects differences among models and does not consider the ability of fitted process-based models to combine the advantages of both process-based and correlative modelling approaches. Here we clarify that the continuum view resulted from recognition of the manifold differences between models. We also reinforce the point that the current trend towards combining different modelling approaches may lead not only to the desired combination of the advantages but also to the accumulation of the disadvantages of those approaches. This point has not been made sufficiently clear previously.
