Environmental niche adaptation revealed through fine scale phenological niche modelling [PDF]
Journal of Biogeography, 2019 Phenology, the temporal response of a population to its climate, is a crucial behavioural trait shared across life on earth. How species adapt their phenologies to climate change is poorly understood but critical in understanding how species will respond

Using environmental niche modelling to investigate abiotic predictors of crocodilian attacks on people [PDF]
Oryx, 2020 Crocodilians are distributed widely through the tropics and subtropics, and several species pose a substantial threat to human life. This has important implications for human safety and crocodilian conservation.

Environmental niche divergence of species from Merodon ruficornis group (Diptera: Syrphidae) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2017 In this paper we analyzed environmental differentiation of closely related species from the Merodon ruficornis group. By applying principal component analysis (PCA) and environmental niche modelling (ENM)-based techniques, we estimated the level

Environmental niche models improve species identification in DNA barcoding
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionRecent advances in DNA barcoding have immeasurably advanced global biodiversity research in the last two decades. However, inherent limitations in barcode sequences, such as hybridization, introgression or incomplete lineage sorting can lead to ...
