Iterative species distribution modeling results in the discovery of novel populations of a rare cold desert perennial

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Niche modeling for rare and range-restricted species can generate inaccurate predictions leading to an overestimation of a species geographic distribution.

mMWeb--an online platform for employing multiple ecological niche modeling algorithms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Predicting the ecological niche and potential habitat distribution of a given organism is one of the central domains of ecological and biogeographical research. A wide variety of modeling techniques have been developed for this purpose.

Reusing Old and Producing New Data Is Useful for Species Delimitation in the Taxonomically Controversial Iberian Endemic Pair Petrocoptis montsicciana/P. pardoi (Caryophyllaceae)

Diversity, 2021
Petrocoptis montsicciana and P. pardoi are two Iberian endemic taxa of Caryophyllaceae family with an unclear taxonomic delimitation, being variously treated as independent species, subspecies or even synonyms.

Spatial epidemiology of Tabanus (Diptera: Tabanidae) vectors of Trypanosoma

Parasites & Vectors
Background Trypanosoma are protozoa parasites that infect animals and can cause economic losses in cattle production. Trypanosoma live in the blood and are transmitted by hematophagous insects, such as flies in the genus Tabanus.

Climate Change Influences on the Global Potential Distribution of Bluetongue Virus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The geographic distribution of arboviruses has received considerable attention after several dramatic emergence events around the world. Bluetongue virus (BTV) is classified among category "A" diseases notifiable to the World Organization of Animal ...

Ecological niche divergence and specialization in Dianthus pseudocrinitus, a neo-endemic species: ecological evidence challenges sister-taxon delimitation

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Clarifying species boundaries within taxonomically complex groups like Dianthus is paramount for understanding evolutionary processes and biodiversity. This study employed a spatially explicit, integrative ecological approach to assess the niche dynamics

Integrating biotic factors into niche modeling: a case study with Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in the Americas [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is known to transmit both anaplasmosis and babesiosis, two diseases that have important impacts on animal health.

Global Patterns and Drivers of Climatic Niche Originality and Overlap: Disentangling Ecological From Methodological Signals

Ecology and Evolution
Niche overlap is widely used to study species coexistence and biodiversity patterns. However, because macroclimatic niches are typically estimated from species distributions, relationships between niche overlap and geographic range overlap may partly ...

Niche modeling reveals life history shifts in birds at La Brea over the last twenty millennia.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A species presence at a particular site can change over time, resulting in temporally dynamic species pools. Ecological niche models provide estimates of species presence at different time intervals.
