An ecological niche shift for Neanderthal populations in Western Europe 70,000 years ago
Scientific Reports, 2021 Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal populations occupied Eurasia for at least 250,000 years prior to the arrival of anatomically modern humans. While a considerable body of archaeological research has focused on Neanderthal material culture and subsistence ...

Ecological niche transferability using invasive species as a case study.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Species distribution modeling is widely applied to predict invasive species distributions and species range shifts under climate change. Accurate predictions depend upon meeting the assumption that ecological niches are conserved, i.e., spatially or ...

The use of ecological niche modeling to infer potential risk areas of snakebite in the Mexican state of Veracruz. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many authors have claimed that snakebite risk is associated with human population density, human activities, and snake behavior. Here we analyzed whether environmental suitability of vipers can be used as an indicator of snakebite risk. We tested several

Journal of Biogeography, 2012 AbstractAimWe present a mechanistic niche model that integrates the demography of competing plant species in a metabolic, stochastic framework. In order to explore the model's ability to generate multiple species and community patterns, we assessed trait composition, richness gradients and spatial distributions of species ranges and abundances of ...

Acta Botânica BrasílicaWe experimentally evaluated how different temperatures affect germination of individual seedlings of Dipteryx alata, and estimated the impact of climate change on the species using ecological niche modeling. A total of 240 seeds were randomly distributed

Non-Native Decapods in South America: Risk Assessment and Potential Impacts
Diversity, 2023 Biological invasions pose significant challenges in the Anthropocene, impacting ecosystem biodiversity and functioning. Ecological Niche Modeling is widely used to evaluate potential areas at risk of invasions, aiding in the prevention of invasive ...

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.

Regional Variation Exaggerates Ecological Divergence in Niche Models [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2010 Traditionally, the goal of systematics has been to produce classifications that are both strongly supported and biologically meaningful. In recent years several authors have advocated complementing phylogenetic analyses with measures of another form of evolutionary change, ecological divergence. These analyses frequently rely on ecological niche models
