Labeling Ecological Niche Models

Natureza & Conservação, 2012
The ongoing biodiversity crisis is pushing ecologists and conservation biologists to develop models to foretell the effects of human-induced transformation of natural resources on the distribution of species, although ecology and biogeography still lacks a paradigmatic body of theory to fully understand the drivers of biodiversity patterns. Two decades

Importance of biotic predictors in estimation of potential invasive areas: the example of the tortoise beetle Eurypedus nigrosignatus, in Hispaniola [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Climatic variables have been the main predictors employed in ecological niche modeling and species distribution modeling, although biotic interactions are known to affect species’ spatial distributions via mechanisms such as predation, competition, and ...

Ecological niche divergence or ecological niche partitioning in a widespread Neotropical bird lineage [PDF]

PeerJ
Ecological niche divergence is generally considered to be a facet of evolution that may accompany geographic isolation and diversification in allopatry, contributing to species’ evolutionary distinctiveness through time.

Evolution of the climatic tolerance and postglacial range changes of the most primitive orchids (Apostasioideae) within Sundaland, Wallacea and Sahul [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The location of possible glacial refugia of six Apostasioideae representatives is estimated based on ecological niche modeling analysis. The distribution of their suitable niches during the last glacial maximum (LGM) is compared with their current ...

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 ...

A comprehensive phylogeography of the widespread pond snail genus Radix revealed restricted colonization due to niche conservatism

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
To clarify the effect of niche conservatism on evolutionary history, we focused on freshwater snails, which have different ecological and phylogenetic properties from previously tested taxa.

The role of ecological niche evolution on diversification patterns of birds distinctly distributed between the Amazonia and Atlantic rainforests.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The Amazonian and Atlantic Forest share several organisms that are currently isolated but were continuously distributed during the Quaternary period. As both biomes are under different climatic regimes, paleoclimatic events may have modulated species ...

Ecological niche of plant pathogens [PDF]

Annals of Forest Research, 2011
Disease ecology is a new approach to the understanding of the spread and dynamics of pathogens in natural and man-made environments. Defining and describing the ecological niche of the pathogens is one of the major tasks for ecological theory, as well as

Ecological niche differentiation between Acanthodactylus micropholis and A. khamirensis (Sauria: Lacertidae) in southern Iran [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2019
Acanthodactylus micropholis Heidari, Rastegar-Pouyani, Rastegar-Pouyani & Rajabizadeh, 2013 and A. khamirensis Blanford, 1874 are genetically and morphologically distinct, but their ecological differentiation has not previously been evaluated ...
