Modelling the environmental niche of a declining farmland bird species [PDF]
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2012 Abstract Species distribution models are used increasingly in both applied and theoretical research to understand attributes of species' environmental requirements and to predict how species are distributed. However, recent advances in species distribution modelling have shown that the use of a single modelling method can lead to biased conclusions ...

Mechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches [PDF]
, 2015 The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area ...

Ecology, 2023 AbstractNiche modeling is typically used to assess the effects of anthropogenic land use and climate change on species distributions and to inform spatial conservation planning. These models focus on the suitability of local biotic and abiotic conditions for a species in environmental space (E‐space).

Formation of iron sulfide at faecal pellets and other microniches within suboxic surface sediment. [PDF]
, 2010 Faecal pellet deposition and bioturbation may lead to heterogeneously distributed particles of localized highly reactive organic matter (microniches) being present below the oxygen penetration depth.

Distribution Pattern and Climate Preferences of the Representatives of the Cosmopolitan Genus Sirthenea Spinola, 1840 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Peiratinae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The main goal of this study was to predict, through the use of GIS tool as ecological niche modelling, potentially suitable ecological niche and defining the conditions of such niche for the representatives of the cosmopolitan genus Sirthenea.

The role of reservoir species in mediating plague's dynamic response to climate
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The distribution and transmission of Yersinia pestis, the bacterial agent of plague, responds dynamically to climate, both within wildlife reservoirs and human populations.

Differentiated historical demography and ecological niche forming present distribution and genetic structure in coexisting two salamanders (Amphibia, Urodela, Hynobiidae) in a small island, Japan [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background The climatic oscillations in the Quaternary period considerably shaped the distribution and population genetic structure of organisms. Studies on the historical dynamics of distribution and demography not only reflect the current geographic ...

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]
, 2019 Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...
