Comparison of habitat suitability models using different habitat suitability evaluation methods
Ecological Engineering, 2014Abstract When simulating the habitat suitability for a species or a community, the selection of the habitat evaluation index is still a matter of debate. This study examined Chinese sturgeon spawning grounds in the Yangtze River as an example. The water level and velocity were simulated by a two-dimensional hydraulic model.

Uncertainty in Various Habitat Suitability Models and Its Impact on Habitat Suitability Estimates for Fish [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2015 Species distribution models (SDMs) are extensively used to project habitat suitability of species in stream ecological studies. Owing to complex sources of uncertainty, such models may yield projections with varying degrees of uncertainty. To better understand projected spatial distributions and the variability between habitat suitability projections ...

Ecological Modelling, 2012
a b s t r a c t Remotely sensed datasets are increasingly being used to model habitat suitability for a variety of taxa. We review habitat suitability models (HSMs) developed for both plants and animals that include remote sensing predictor variables to determine how these variables could affect model projections.

SETTING RELIABILITY BOUNDS ON HABITAT SUITABILITY INDICES
Ecological Applications, 2001We expressed quantitative and qualitative uncertainties in suitability index functions as triangular distributions and used the mechanics of fuzzy numbers to solve for the distribution of uncertainty around the habitat suitability indices derived from them. We applied this approach to a habitat model for the Florida Scrub-Jay.

Prediction of Habitat Suitability for Ticks
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006Abstract: This article offers a personal perspective on the efforts to model the habitat suitability for ticks. A serious effort is being made to provide maps at an adequate resolution that can plot the probability of the presence and even the abundance of tick parasites of humans and that can be used to develop control programs for species with ...

Distributions of Habitat Suitability and the Abundance‐Occupancy Relationship
The American Naturalist, 2006Positive abundance-occupancy relationships (a relationship between the number of sites a species occupies and the average density of individuals in occupied sites) are widespread through a range of taxa. The simplest model for this is the "vital rates" model, which proposes that habitat suitability varies spatially; increasing average habitat quality ...

Habitat Suitability and Distribution Models
2017This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building, evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of species and biodiversity. Beginning with the main theory behind ecological niches and species distributions, the book proceeds through all major steps of model building, from ...

A Multitemporal Analysis of Habitat Suitability
2003The paper describes the potential of remotely sensed data (Landsat 5 and 7) for the characterization and monitoring of forest habitats at the landscape level over a period of 11 years (1989 and 2000). The Moritzburg area located close to the city of Dresden, Germany was selected as the study site.

Habitat suitability models for desert amphibians
Biological Conservation, 2006Abstract A fundamental step in conserving biodiversity is identification of quality habitat needed to sustain populations of target species. We used coarse scale environmental features (soil water holding capacity, soil texture, slope, elevation, and proximity to drainage channels) to predict habitat suitability for four species of desert amphibians ...
