Ecology and Evolution, 2023 AbstractEcological Niche Models (ENMs) are often used to project species distributions within alien ranges and in future climatic scenarios. However, ENMs depend on species‐environment equilibrium, which may be absent for actively expanding species. We present a novel framework to estimate whether species have reached environmental equilibrium in their

Collinearity in ecological niche modeling: Confusions and challenges [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractEcological niche models are widely used in ecology and biogeography. Maxent is one of the most frequently used niche modeling tools, and many studies have aimed to optimize its performance. However, scholars have conflicting views on the treatment of predictor collinearity in Maxent modeling.

Sympatric and allopatric niche shift of endemic Gypsophila (Caryophyllaceae) taxa in the Iberian Peninsula. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Several species of the Gypsophila genus are endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, including gypsophytes of particular ecological, evolutionary and biochemical interest, and taxa that have undergone both sympatric and allopatric genetic differentiation.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Climate change is predicted to affect species distribution worldwide. Most of the methods used to evaluate such impact so far assume that species respond to the environmental gradients in a uniform way along their distribution range.

Ecological Niche Modeling: An Introduction for Veterinarians and Epidemiologists [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Most infectious diseases in animals are not distributed randomly. Instead, diseases in livestock and wildlife are predictable in terms of the geography, time, and species affected. Ecological niche modeling approaches have been crucial to the advancement of our understanding of diversity and diseases distributions.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Hybridization is a known source of morphological, functional and communicative signal novelty in many organisms. Although diverse mechanisms of established novel ornamentation have been identified in natural populations, we lack an understanding of ...

Long-term isolation of European steppe outposts boosts the biome’s conservation value
Nature Communications, 2020 Europe hosts isolated remnants of the steppe belt that once covered much of Eurasia. Here the authors combine genomic data and ecological niche modelling on three plant and three insect species to show evolution independent of the zonal steppe and high ...

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

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The classification of closely related plants is not straightforward. These morphologically similar taxa frequently maintain their inter-hybridization potential and share ancestral polymorphisms as a consequence of their recent divergence ...
