Informed statistical modelling of habitat suitability for rare and threatened species [PDF]
, 2008 In this thesis a number of statistical methods have been developed and applied to habitat suitability modelling for rare and threatened species. Data available on these species are typically limited. Therefore, developing these models from these data can

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Habitat Suitability Modeling for Endangered Pangolins
Pangolins (Order Pholidota; Family Manidae; 8 species) are the world's most heavily trafficked wild mammals, with anestimated one million individuals removed from the wild between 2000 and 2013 for the traditional medicine andbushmeat trade -- driving all eight species to threatened status on the IUCN Red List.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

AI-Driven Habitat Suitability Modeling
Habitat suitability models (HSMs) -- statistical or machine learning models that relate species occurrence records toenvironmental predictor variables to predict the spatial distribution of suitable habitat -- are among the most widelyapplied tools in conservation planning.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Protocols for spatial modelling of vector habitat suitability
EFSA Supporting PublicationsAbstract This report presents protocols developed for modelling vector habitat suitability using presence‐absence data derived from sources such as VectorNet and GBIF. These datasets, while extensive, often suffer from spatial gaps and lack of absence data. To address this, the report outlines a comprehensive workflow involving the generation of pseudo‐
