Ecological Niche Modelling of Bank Voles in Western Europe [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2013 The bank vole (Myodes glareolus) is the natural host of Puumala virus (PUUV) in vast areas of Europe. PUUV is one of the hantaviruses which are transmitted to humans by infected rodents. PUUV causes a general mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) called nephropathia epidemica (NE).

Scientific Reports, 2017 Understanding biological invasions is crucial for their control and prevention. Specially, establishing whether invasive species operate within the constraint of conservative ecological niches, or if niche shifts occur at all commonly as part of the ...

Improving Models of Species Ecological Niches: A Remote Sensing Overview
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Effective conservation capable of mitigating global biodiversity declines require thorough knowledge on species distributions and their drivers. A species ecological niche determines its geographic distribution, and species distribution models (SDMs) can

Distribution Pattern and Climate Preferences of the Representatives of the Cosmopolitan Genus Sirthenea Spinola, 1840 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Peiratinae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The main goal of this study was to predict, through the use of GIS tool as ecological niche modelling, potentially suitable ecological niche and defining the conditions of such niche for the representatives of the cosmopolitan genus Sirthenea.

Ecological niche modeling of the genus Papio
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2018 AbstractObjectiveEcological niche modeling (ENM) has been used to assess how abiotic variables influence species distributions and diversity. Baboons are broadly distributed throughout Africa, yet the degree of climatic specialization is largely unexplored for individual taxa. Also, the influence of climate on baboon phylogenetic divergence is unknown.

An evaluation of transferability of ecological niche models [PDF]
Ecography, 2018 Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is used widely to study species’ geographic distributions. ENM applications frequently involve transferring models calibrated with environmental data from one region to other regions or times that may include novel environmental conditions.

Stochastic Processes Shape Bacterial Community Diversity Patterns along Plant Niche Gradients
AgronomyThe ecological niche gradient is an important determinant of microbial community structure. In this paper, we studied variation in rhizosphere bacterial diversity and community composition along an ecological niche gradient.

A method for statistically comparing spatial distribution maps
International Journal of Health Geographics, 2009 Background Ecological niche modeling is a method for estimation of species distributions based on certain ecological parameters. Thus far, empirical determination of significant differences between independently generated distribution maps for a single ...
