Automated pre-processing strategies for species occurrence data used in biodiversity modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To construct Biodiversity richness maps from Environmental Niche Models (ENMs) of thousands of species is time consuming. A separate species occurrence data pre-processing phase enables the experimenter to control test AUC score variance due to species ...

Role of environmental filtering and functional traits for species coexistence in a harsh tropical montane ecosystem

open access: yes, 2021
Environmental filtering and niche differentiation are often invoked to explain species coexistence at local scales. The ironstone campo rupestre of Brazil provides a biodiverse natural experiment in which edaphic gradients represent filters to test the

Spatiotemporal joint species distribution modelling: A basis function approach

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
We introduce community‐level basis function models (CBFMs) as an approach for spatiotemporal joint distribution modelling. CBFMs can be viewed as related to spatiotemporal latent variable models, where the latent variables are replaced by a set of pre ...

Statistical estimation and nonlinear filtering in environmental pollution

open access: yesStatistical Inference for Stochastic Processes, 2023
This paper studies a nonlinear filtering problem over an infinite time interval. The signal to be estimated is driven by a stochastic partial differential equation involves unknown parameters. Based on discrete observation, strongly consistent estimators of the parameters are derived at first.

Global biogeography of atmospheric microorganisms reflects diverse recruitment and environmental filtering

open access: yes, 2022
Atmospheric transport is critical to dispersal of microorganisms between habitats, and this underpins resilience in terrestrial and marine ecosystems globally.

A Comparison of LiDAR Filtering Algorithms in Vegetated Mountain Areas

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2018
Filtering of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data is a challenging task in vegetated mountain areas. Environmental features and LiDAR data characteristics have significant impacts on the performance of filtering algorithms.

Does Environment Filtering or Seed Limitation Determine Post-fire Forest Recovery Patterns in Boreal Larch Forests?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Wildfire is a primary natural disturbance in boreal forests, and post-fire vegetation recovery rate influences carbon, water, and energy exchange between the land and atmosphere in the region.

Trait‐based and multi‐scale approach provides insight on responses of freshwater mussels to environmental heterogeneity

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Our understanding of the factors driving the distribution of metacommunities at different scales can be obscured by high variation in species composition between sites and a lack of fine‐scale distribution data. Trait‐based approaches have long been used

Gut Microbiota in Tibetan Herdsmen Reflects the Degree of Urbanization

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Urbanization is associated with shifts in human lifestyles, thus possibly influencing the diversity, interaction and assembly of gut microbiota. However, the question regarding how human gut microbiota adapts to varying lifestyles remains elusive.
