This chapter explains how environmental data can be used to create models that characterize species’ ecological niches in environmental space. It introduces a model, which is a function constructed by means of data analysis for the purpose of approximating the true relationship (that is, the niche) in the form of the function f linking the environment ...

Abstract Impact assessments increasingly rely on models to project the potential impacts of climate change on species distributions. Ecological niche models have become established as an efficient and widely used method for interpolating (and sometimes extrapolating) species’ distributions.

Representing Ecological Niches in a Conceptual Model
2004The niche concept has been recognised as a fundamental notion in biological and business systems, amongst others. Existing data models do not have adequate primitives that faithfully represent ecological niches for geographical information systems.

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.

The Niche-Center Relationship in Ecological Niche Modeling
The niche-center relationship posits that organisms’ fitness is highest at the center of their fundamental ecological niche, an assumption often implicit in ecological niche modeling. Nevertheless, empirical support for the niche-center relationship at the species level is often inconsistent, potentially due to confounding factors such as biotic ...Paanwaris Paansri +2 more

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 ...

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.
