Assessing the habitat suitability of 10 serious weed species in global croplands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Weed expansion has the potential to severely affect global agriculture. Habitat suitability models (HSMs) have been widely used to assess weed expansion to enable effective prevention and control of weeds. However, few studies have focused on the habitat

Macroscale climate change predictions have little influence on landscape-scale habitat suitability

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Although a few studies have addressed the combined effects of climate change and habitat loss on biodiversity at a regional scale, the extent to which climate change will impact species occurrence at the landscape scale remains unclear.

Mapping the habitat suitability of Ottelia species in Africa

Plant Diversity, 2022
Understanding the influence of environmental covariates on plant distribution is critical, especially for aquatic plant species. Climate change is likely to alter the distribution of aquatic species. However, knowledge of this change on the burden of aquatic macroorganisms is often fraught with difficulty.

Global habitat suitability of cold‐water octocorals [PDF]

Journal of Biogeography, 2012
AbstractAim  Three‐quarters of Octocorallia species are found in deep waters. These cold‐water octocoral colonies can form a major constituent of structurally complex habitats. The global distribution and the habitat requirements of deep‐sea octocorals are poorly understood given the expense and difficulties of sampling at depth.

Global habitat suitability models of terrestrial mammals [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
Detailed large-scale information on mammal distribution has often been lacking, hindering conservation efforts. We used the information from the 2009 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as a baseline for developing habitat suitability models for 5027 out of 5330 known terrestrial mammal species, based on their habitat relationships.

Global habitat suitability modeling reveals insufficient habitat protection for a mangrove crab

Scientific Reports, 2022
Abstract Mangrove crabs are important components of mangrove forests however their large scale habitat suitability and conservation received little attention. The Metopograpsus thukuhar/cannicci species complex is a mangrove dwelling species occurs in the Indo-Pacific mangrove forests.

Habitat suitability and demography, a time‐dependent relationship

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractThe habitat suitability index, which reflects spatial variability in species occurrence probability, has been shown to exhibit various contrasting relationships with local demographic performances (survival, productivity) in several species. One proposed explanation for these discrepancies is that the link between the habitat suitability index ...

Applications of Integrating Wildlife Habitat Suitability and Habitat Potential Models

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2021
ABSTRACT Assessment of habitat suitability provides natural resource managers with insights on the quality and spatial distribution of habitat for wildlife species. However, habitat suitability models only provide information on current habitat parameters, and do not consider changes in habitat due to forest ...

Habitat Suitability Based Models for Ungulate Roadkill Prognosis [PDF]

Animals, 2020
Roads do not only have a detrimental effect on nature (fragmenting habitats, isolating populations and threatening biodiversity), but the increasing numbers of wildlife-vehicle collisions are also a direct threat to humans and property. Therefore, mitigation measures should be placed with respect to animal distribution and movements across the roads ...

Spatial smoothing techniques for the assessment of habitat suitability [PDF]

Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2008
Precise knowledge about factors influencing the habitat suitability of a certain species forms the basis for the implementation of effective programs to conserve biological diversity. Such knowledge is frequently gathered from studies relating abundance data to a set of influential variables in a regression setup.
