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 ...

Subjective uncertainties in habitat suitability maps
Ecological Modelling, 2006Habitat suitability maps are very useful for planning management and conservation priorities. Epistemic uncertainty usually is an intrinsic part of the mapping process and yet, subjective uncertainties have rarely been addressed. Subjective uncertainty arises from subjective judgments, generally by experts, on how to interpret data and translate them ...

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 ...

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 ...

Integrating sex-specific habitat use for conservation using habitat suitability models
Animal Conservation, 2011(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Divergent habitat utilization and niche partitioning can cause high degrees of ecological specialization even in generalist species. For example, sex-specific specialization results in differential habitat use, which, if neglected in monitoring studies, can lead to biased estimates of population sizes.

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 Modelling of Blue Carbon Habitats in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia’s extensive coastline contains a suite of blue carbon ecosystems that all play important roles in the storage of carbon – a so-called Nature Based Solution for climate mitigation. However, the scale of this stored carbon, and how it may respond to future climate change is uncertain, and remains a key hinderance in the widescale adoption ...Siddhi Joshi +8 more
