Development of environmental niche models for use in underwater vehicle navigation [PDF]
IET Cyber-systems and Robotics, 2020 This paper presents a review of Environmental Niche Modeling and a methodology for isolating the environmental niche of an aquatic species, given that prior information is available for characterising the physical tolerances for that species. To test and

Inclusion of biotic variables improves predictions of environmental niche models [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, 2022 AbstractAimSpecies Distribution Models (SDMs) are correlative models that predict the occurrence or abundance of species in relation to predictor variables. SDMs have become an important part of resource management and conservation biology yet they rarely incorporate species’ biology or demography into their predictions.

Modelling the Role of Temperature-Induced Environmental Noise on Phytoplankton Niche Dynamics
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Variability in physical and chemical processes in the marine ecosystem significantly influences the niche ecology of primary producers. However, studies are limited to understand the role of variability in environmental conditions on the niche dynamics ...

Predicting the current and future potential distributions of lymphatic filariasis in Africa using maximum entropy ecological niche modelling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Modelling the spatial distributions of human parasite species is crucial to understanding the environmental determinants of infection as well as for guiding the planning of control programmes.

Combining trade data and niche modelling improves predictions of the origin and distribution of non-native European populations of a globally invasive species [PDF]
, 2017 Aim: Although propagule pressure and environmental constraints are among the most important factors determining invasion success, studies considering both factors simultaneously are scarce.

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

Environmental heterogeneity affects the location of modelled communities along the niche–neutrality continuum [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 The continuum hypothesis has been proposed as a means to reconcile the contradiction between the niche and neutral theories. While past research has shown that species richness affects the location of communities along the niche–neutrality continuum, there may be extrinsic forces at play as well. We used a spatially explicit continuum model to quantify

Potential feeding habitat of fin whales in the western Mediterranean Sea: an environmental niche model [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 The development of synoptic tools is required to derive the potential habitat of fin whales Balaenoptera physalus on a large-scale basis in the Mediterranean Sea, as the species has a largely unknown distribution and is at high risk of ship strike. We propose a foraging habitat model for fin whales in the western Mediterranean Sea relying on species ...
