Environmental layers and synthetic data for visualizing uncertainty in habitat suitability models with HEMI 2

, 2018
Habitat suitability models (HSMs) are popular and used for a wide variety of applications but most do not include analysis of the uncertainty of the model.

A multi-level, multi-scale comparison of LiDAR- and LANDSAT-based habitat selection models of Mexican spotted owls in a post-fire landscape

Ecological Informatics
The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires pose significant challenges for habitat conservation, particularly in post-fire landscapes. This study evaluates the habitat selection of the Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) in a post ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Predictive habitat modelling as a tool to assess the change in distribution and extent of an OSPAR priority habitat under an increased ocean temperature scenario:consequences for marine protected area networks and management [PDF]

, 2013
The aims of this study were to determine the extent and distribution of an OSPAR priority habitat under current baseline ocean temperatures; to illustrate the prospect for habitat loss under a changing ocean temperature scenario; and to demonstrate the ...

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Assessing Habitat Suitability for Pacific Oyster (Magallana gigas) in the Venice Lagoon [PDF]

openOysters have an important role in protecting coastal-marine ecosystems, by providing several benefits such as filtering water, creating habitat, reducing eutrophication, controlling coastal erosion, absorbing carbon, and supporting biodiversity.

Reframing the Gut–Brain Axis: The Gut Wall as a Neural Immune Interface in Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurological Diseases

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Gut wall physiology in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune neurologic diseases remains underexplored but may span gut barrier dysfunction, enteric glial targeting, mucosal immune dysregulation, and autoimmune targets within the enteric nervous system (ENS).
