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.

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 bioindicator mosses
, 2021 As briófitas podem ser utilizadas como bioindicadoras, no entanto, uma das limitações desse uso são as lacunas no conhecimento sobre a ocorrência das espécies. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar a modelagem de nicho ecológico para Helicodontium capillare (Hedw.) A.Jaeger e Thuidium tomentosum Schimp., duas espécies de musgos ...

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]
, 2015 Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

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 ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
