Ecological niche model comparison under different climate scenarios: a case study ofOleaspp. in Asia [PDF]

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
Ecological niche modeling (and the related species distribution modeling) has been used as a tool with which to assess potential impacts of climate change processes on geographic distributions of species.

Ecological niche models of invasive seaweeds

Journal of Phycology, 2015
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are commonly used to calculate habitat suitability from species’ occurrence and macroecological data. In invasive species biology, ENMs can be applied to anticipate whether invasive species are likely to establish in an area, to identify critical routes and arrival points, to build risk maps and to predict the extent of ...

Cognitive niches: An ecological model of strategy selection.

Psychological Review, 2011
How do people select among different strategies to accomplish a given task? Across disciplines, the strategy selection problem represents a major challenge. We propose a quantitative model that predicts how selection emerges through the interplay among strategies, cognitive capacities, and the environment.

Assessment of the Ecological Niche of Photovoltaic Agriculture in China

open access: yesSustainability, 2019
To evaluate the ecological niche of photovoltaic agriculture in China, an evaluation index system was constructed. Based on the presentation form of interval numbers, we used the interval entropy weight method and interval cloud model to measure the ...

Dynamical model for sympatric speciation in an ecological niche.

Theoretical biology forum, 2019
The speciation phenomenon is the process used by the evolution to allow populations to become distinct species. The speciation is the primary cause of the complexity of the ecological network. Sympatric speciation concerns the rise of a new species from a surviving ancestral species while both continue to inhabit the same ecological niche or ...

Ecological niche modelling

2019
Abstract Impact assessments increasingly rely on models to project the potential impacts of climate change on species distributions. Ecological niche models have become established as an efficient and widely used method for interpolating (and sometimes extrapolating) species’ distributions.

Programming Ecological Niche Modeling Workflows in the Cloud

2013 27th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops, 2013
In the last decades biology scientists have relied on their own resources and tools to run the experiments and store the results of the analysis. However, the explosion of big data and the growing availability of computational methods find an obstacle in the lack of computational and storage resources.

Representing Ecological Niches in a Conceptual Model

2004
The niche concept has been recognised as a fundamental notion in biological and business systems, amongst others. Existing data models do not have adequate primitives that faithfully represent ecological niches for geographical information systems.

Modeling Ecological Niches

2011
This chapter explains how environmental data can be used to create models that characterize species’ ecological niches in environmental space. It introduces a model, which is a function constructed by means of data analysis for the purpose of approximating the true relationship (that is, the niche) in the form of the function f linking the environment ...
