Modeling the Niche Suitability of Grey Crowned Crane (<i>Balearica regulorum</i>) to Inform Conservation Strategies in Kenya. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study used ensemble species distribution models to assess the current and future climatic suitability of habitats for the Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) in Kenya. Using occurrence data and bioclimatic variables, we identified key climatic drivers of habitat suitability and projected substantial contractions in suitable habitats under ...

Species Distribution Modeling Reveals Future Climate Refugia and Important Areas for Rocky Plants in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. [PDF]
Ecol EvolClimate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.

Bioclimate map of Sardinia (Italy) [PDF]
Journal of Maps, 2014 Bioclimatology deals with the interrelation between climate and living organisms, in particular, plants and plant communities, considering the main climate variables that are relevant for species distribution. In this context spatial interpolation of monthly temperature and precipitation data using 203 rain gauges and 68 temperature gauges for Sardinia

Detailed bioclimate analysis of Banja Koviljaca (Serbia) [PDF]
Geographica Pannonica, 2016 The study presents the results of detailed bioclimatological analysis of Banja Koviljaèa. For the evalu - ation of bioclimate conditions significant for human health and activities, more than 100 indices have been developed. Indices based on human energy balance are proven to be the best for the evaluation of human thermal comfort.

Automated pre-processing strategies for species occurrence data used in biodiversity modelling [PDF]
, 2010 To construct Biodiversity richness maps from Environmental Niche Models (ENMs) of thousands of species is time consuming. A separate species occurrence data pre-processing phase enables the experimenter to control test AUC score variance due to species ...
