‘ukbioprepr': an R package to support reproducible preparation of environmental data for biodiversity modelling in the UK

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Biodiversity modelling is essential for explaining and predicting ecological responses to environmental change and assessing progress towards targets in the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (CBD 2022). The UK benefits from rich biodiversity time‐series data and numerous open‐source environmental datasets.

Macroecología y ecoinformática: sesgos, errores y predicciones en el modelado de distribuciones

Ecosistemas, 2014
Hoy en día es común estudiar los patrones globales de biodiversidad a partir de las predicciones generadas por diferentes modelos de nicho ecológico. Habitualmente, estos modelos se calibran con datos procedentes de bases de datos de libre acceso (e.g ...

Modeling the impact of climate change on suitable areas for the underutilized crop Cyperus esculentus (tiger nut) and implications for production expansion and conservation in Togo, West Africa

Discover Agriculture
Cyperus esculentus L., an important food and medicinal plant, is increasingly threatened by climate change in Togo. This study aims to model its current and future distribution using the MaxEnt and Bioclim algorithms, incorporating environmental ...

Ecological observations on a remote montane occurrence of Bedfordia arborescens (Asteraceae), Cape Barren Island, Tasmania [PDF]

, 2006
Bedfordia arborescens Hochr. is a tree listed under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and is known in Tasmania only from an outlying population in cloud forest on Mt Munro, Cape Barren Island in the Furneaux Group. While the species is

The Bioclimates of the Colorado Front Range

Mountain Research and Development, 1985
This paper delineates bioclimatic zones of the Colorado Front Range. It develops a methodology which might be useful for making inventories of mountain bioclimates in other parts of the world. Following a description of the vegetation and the climate of the Front Range some insight is gained into the bioclimatic systems of the area by examining the ...

Chapter 4. In search of relevant predictors for marine species distribution modelling using the MarineSPEED benchmark dataset [PDF]

, 2017
Aim: Ideally, datasets for species distribution modelling (SDM) contain evenly sampled records covering the entire distribution of the species, confirmed absences and auxiliary ecophysiological data allowing informed decisions on relevant predictors ...

Climate and bioclimate analysis of Ondo State, Nigeria

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2011
Most of the previous analyses of climate of Nigeria, particularly OndoState have been for agricultural use. They have little or no application for biometeorological purposes. This paper examines and analyse the climate of Ondo State, Nigeria with respect to biometeorological parameters based on air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar ...

Floristics, structure and site characteristics of "Melaleuca viridiflora" (Myrtaceae) dominated open woodlands of the wet tropics lowlands [PDF]

, 2008
Tropical lowland plant communities in north-eastern Queensland remain under pressure from continuing clearing, fragmentation, exotic species invasion, inappropriate fire regimes, and altered hydrological patterns. Comparatively little scientific research
