Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

Evaluation of climate conditions and ecological traits that limit the distribution expansion of alien Lolium rigidum in Japan [PDF]
NeoBiotaInvasive alien plants cause severe global problems; therefore, determining the factors that lead to the success or failure of invasion is a critical question in the field of invasion ecology.

Range expansion of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in Europe is promoted by climate change [PDF]
, 2013 Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., native to North America, is a problematic invasive species, because of its highly allergenic pollen. The species is expected to expand its range due to climate change.

Mahalanobis distances and ecological niche modelling: correcting a chi-squared probability error
PeerJ, 2019 The Mahalanobis distance is a statistical technique that can be used to measure how distant a point is from the centre of a multivariate normal distribution.

Predicting Distribution of Aedes Aegypti and Culex Pipiens Complex, Potential Vectors of Rift Valley Fever Virus in Relation to Disease Epidemics in East Africa. [PDF]
, 2013 The East African region has experienced several Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks since the 1930s. The objective of this study was to identify distributions of potential disease vectors in relation to disease epidemics.

Spatio-temporal ecological niche modelling of multigenerational insect migrations
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 Modelling ecological niches of migratory animals requires incorporating a temporal dimension, in addition to space. Here, we introduce an approach to model multigenerational migratory insects using time-partitioned environmental variables (by months and ...

How self-regulation, the storage effect and their interaction contribute to coexistence in stochastic and seasonal environments [PDF]
, 2019 Explaining coexistence in species-rich communities of primary producers remains a challenge for ecologists because of their likely competition for shared resources.

PREDICTING INVASION RISK USING MEASURES OF INTRODUCTION EFFORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL NICHE MODELS
Ecological Applications, 2007 The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is native to east Asia, is established throughout Europe, and is introduced but geographically restricted in North America. We developed and compared two separate environmental niche models using genetic algorithm for rule set prediction (GARP) and mitten crab occurrences in Asia and Europe to predict the ...

Using environmental niche models to test the ‘everything is everywhere’ hypothesis for Badhamia [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2013 Abstract It is often discussed whether the biogeography of free-living protists is better explained by the ‘everything is everywhere’(EiE) hypothesis, which postulates that only ecology drives their distribution, or by the alternative hypothesis of ‘moderate endemicity’ in which geographic barriers can limit their dispersal.
