Ecological Niche Modeling of Acanthamoeba in Türkiye
EcoHealthAcanthamoeba, is an opportunistic pathogenic organism with a global distribution and the potential to cause severe human infections. This study primarily aimed to identify the environmental factors influencing the distribution of Acanthamoeba by analyzing various bioclimatic and topographic variables, and to predict their potential current and future ...

Ditch the niche – is the niche a useful concept in ecology or species distribution modelling?
Journal of Biogeography, 2012AbstractIn this first of three papers we examine the use of niche concepts in ecology and especially in species distribution modelling (SDM). This paper deliberately focuses on the lack of clarity found in the term ‘niche’. Because its meanings are so diverse, the term niche tends to create confusion and requires constant qualification.

EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF ECOLOGICAL NICHE MODELING IN A HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENT
Ecology, 2006The current range of ecological habitats occupied by a species reflects a combination of the ecological tolerance of the species, dispersal limitation, and competition. Whether the current distribution of a species accurately reflects its niche has important consequences for the role of ecological niche modeling in predicting changes in species ranges ...

Spatial modelling of Bacillus anthracis ecological niche in Zimbabwe
Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2013Anthrax continues to cause significant mortalities in livestock, wildlife and humans worldwide. In Zimbabwe, anthrax outbreaks have been reported almost annually over the past four decades. In this study we tested whether anthrax outbreak data and a set of environmental variables can be used to predict the ecological niche for Bacillus anthracis using ...

Model-R: A Framework for Scalable and Reproducible Ecological Niche Modeling
2017Spatial analysis tools and synthesis of results are key to identifying the best solutions in biodiversity conservation. The importance of process automation is associated with increased efficiency and performance both in the data pre-processing phase and in the post-analysis of the results generated by the packages and modeling programs.

Using ecological niche modelling to evaluate niche stability in deep time
Journal of Biogeography, 2011AbstractAim To investigate relative niche stability in species responses to various types of environmental pressure (biotic and abiotic) on geological time‐scales using the fossil record.Location The case study focuses on Late Ordovician articulate brachiopods of the Cincinnati Arch in eastern North America.Methods Species niches were modelled for a
