Modeling and validation of environmental suitability for Schistosomiasis transmission using remote sensing [PDF]

, 2015
Schistosomiasis is the most widespread water-based disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Transmission is governed by the spatial distribution of specific freshwater snails that act as intermediate hosts and human water contact patterns. Remote sensing data have

Simulation and analysis of red-crowned crane habitat suitability using maximum entropy and information entropy models

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is a rare waterfowl species that is sensitive to environmental changes in its habitat selection; as such it effectively reflects the variation in wetland landscapes.

A General Approach for the Analysis of Habitat Selection [PDF]

, 2007
Investigating habitat selection of animals aims at the detection of preferred and avoided habitat types as well as at the identification of covariates influencing the choice of certain habitat types.

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 ...

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.

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.
