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.

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 modelling and niche theory [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2008
Summary 1. The concept of the ecological niche relates a set of environmental variables to the fitness of species, while habitat suitability models (HSMs) relate environmental variables to the likelihood of occurrence of the species. In spite of this relationship, the concepts are weakly linked in the literature, and there is a strong need for better ...

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 ...

Uncertainty in Various Habitat Suitability Models and Its Impact on Habitat Suitability Estimates for Fish [PDF]

Water, 2015
Species distribution models (SDMs) are extensively used to project habitat suitability of species in stream ecological studies. Owing to complex sources of uncertainty, such models may yield projections with varying degrees of uncertainty. To better understand projected spatial distributions and the variability between habitat suitability projections ...

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

An empirical and expert‐knowledge hybrid approach to implement farmland habitat assessment for birds

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Bird species survival and breeding depend on necessary abiotic and biotic components of farmland habitat. A hybrid model based on expert knowledge using Analytic Network Process (ANP) integrated with empirical data is a capable approach for conservation ...

Evaluating land suitability for Rhus coriaria L. (Sumac) by habitat suitability model

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2023
The cultivation of Rhus coriaria has become necessary to preserve their wild populations. To be competitive in the international market, it is important to develop an efficient production chain to reduce costs and improve the quality of the products. The
