Ecological assessment and environmental niche modelling of Himalayan rhubarb (Rheum webbianum Royle) in northwest Himalaya [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
In an era of anthropocene, threatened and endemic species with small population sizes and habitat specialists experience a greater global conservation concern in view of being at higher risk of extinction.

Large-scale environmental DNA survey reveals niche axes of a regional coastal fish community [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The concept of the ecological niche, defined as the basic habitat requirements for a species, is central to understanding species geographic distributions and predicting their responses to environmental change.

Multi-phase modelling of potential drivers for the range expansion of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Ecological niche models are often snapshots in space and time, providing little information on how niches change in response to changing environmental conditions and species interactions over time. The golden jackal has shown one of Europe’s most drastic

Does size matter? An analysis of the niche width and vulnerability to climate change of fourteen species of the genus Crotalus from North America [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
The niche comprises the set of abiotic and biotic environmental conditions in which a species can live. Consequently, those species that present broader niches are expected to be more tolerant to changes in climatic variations than those species that ...

Ecological niches in the polyploid complex Linum suffruticosum s.l.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionThe high frequency of polyploidy in the evolutionary history of many plant groups occurring in the Mediterranean region is likely a consequence of its dynamic paleogeographic and climatic history.

voluModel: Modelling species distributions in three‐dimensional space

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Ecological niche modelling (ENM), species distribution modelling and related spatial analytical methods were first developed in two‐dimensional (2‐D) terrestrial systems; many common ENM workflows organize and analyse geographically structured occurrence

Uncertainties in predicting species distributions under climate change: a case study using Tetranychus evansi (Acari: Tetranychidae), a widespread agricultural pest. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Many species are shifting their distributions due to climate change and to increasing international trade that allows dispersal of individuals across the globe. In the case of agricultural pests, such range shifts may heavily impact agriculture.

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

Selecting biological meaningful environmental dimensions of low discrepancy among ranges to predict potential distribution of Bean plataspid invasion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The Bean plataspid (Megacopta cribraria) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), native to Asia, is becoming an invasive species in North America; its potential spread to soybean producing areas in the US is of great concern.
