Spatial niche modelling of five endemic cacti from the Brazilian Caatinga: Past, present and future

Austral ecology (Print), 2020
Climate change, together with human activities, impacts on natural and human systems on all continents and poses a major threat to biodiversity, especially in environments with a high rate of endemism and where species are profoundly adapted to specific ...

Niche conservatism predominates in adaptive radiation: comparing the diversification of Hawaiian arthropods using ecological niche modelling

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019
The role of the environmental niche in fostering ecological divergence during adaptive radiation remains enigmatic. In this study, we examine the interplay between environmental niche divergence and conservatism in the context of adaptive radiation on ...

Environmental Suitability of the Cassava Mealybug Assessments Using Ecological Niche Modelling

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
The cassava mealybug (Phenacoccus manihoti) is one of the main pests in the world and the risk of invasion posed by this pest is becoming more and more serious with regard to increasing areas of planting cassava in Asia. It is urgent to analyze the potential geography distribution of P. manihoti among cassava in China.

Calibration areas in ecological niche and species distribution modelling: Unravelling approaches and concepts

Journal of Biogeography
The calibration area (CA) corresponds to the geographic region used by different algorithms that estimate the species' environmental preferences and delimit its geographic distribution. This study intended to identify, test and compare current literature'

Environmental Niche Modeling Reveals Climatic Differences among Breeding Ranges of Orchard Oriole Subspecies

The American Midland Naturalist, 2011
Environmental niche parameters of breeding ranges for two subspecies in the Orchard Oriole complex (Icterus spurius spurius and I. s. fuertesi) were characterized via ecological niche modeling. Niche models formulated from museum specimen collections largely agree with published breeding ranges of both taxa.

Predicting invasion risk of raccoon Procyon lotor in Iran using environmental niche models

Landscape and Ecological Engineering, 2016
The raccoon Procyon lotor (Linnaeus 1758) is a native species of North and Central America, but it can be also found as an alien species in parts of Europe and Asia. The raccoon’s flexibility and capability in coping with environmental changes have made it the most successful invader compared with other species.

Correlation between genetic diversity and environmental suitability: taking uncertainty from ecological niche models into account

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2015
AbstractThe hindcast of shifts in the geographical ranges of species as estimated by ecological niche modelling (ENM) has been coupled with phylogeographical patterns, allowing the inference of past processes that drove population differentiation and genetic variability.

Constraints on interpretation of ecological niche models by limited environmental ranges on calibration areas

Ecological Modelling, 2013
Abstract Correlational models of species’ ecological niches are commonly used to transfer model rules onto other sets of conditions to evaluate species’ distributional potential. As with any model fitting exercise, however, interpretation of model predictions outside the range of the independent variables on which models were calibrated is perilous ...

Chapter 6 using environmental niche modeling to study the late devonian biodiversity crisis

2005
Abstract Geographic ranges are estimated for brachiopod and bivalve species during the late Middle (mid-Givetian) to the middle Late (terminal Frasnian) Devonian to investigate range changes during the time leading up to and including the Late Devonian biodiversity crisis.
