Species detection vs. habitat suitability: Are we biasing habitat suitability models with remotely sensed data?

Ecological Modelling, 2012
a b s t r a c t Remotely sensed datasets are increasingly being used to model habitat suitability for a variety of taxa. We review habitat suitability models (HSMs) developed for both plants and animals that include remote sensing predictor variables to determine how these variables could affect model projections.

Comparison of habitat suitability models using different habitat suitability evaluation methods

Ecological Engineering, 2014
Abstract When simulating the habitat suitability for a species or a community, the selection of the habitat evaluation index is still a matter of debate. This study examined Chinese sturgeon spawning grounds in the Yangtze River as an example. The water level and velocity were simulated by a two-dimensional hydraulic model.

Accounting for geographic variation in species‐habitat associations during habitat suitability modeling

Ecological Applications, 2022
AbstractRange‐wide species conservation efforts are facilitated by spatially explicit estimates of habitat suitability. However, species‐environment relationships often vary geographically and models assuming geographically constant relationships may result in misleading inferences.

Evaluation of fish habitat suitability using a coupled ecohydraulic model: Habitat model selection and prediction

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, 2018
The selection of an approach to evaluate habitat suitability for a specific fish or life stage has been a matter of concern in habitat quality modelling studies.

Habitat suitability models for desert amphibians

Biological Conservation, 2006
Abstract A fundamental step in conserving biodiversity is identification of quality habitat needed to sustain populations of target species. We used coarse scale environmental features (soil water holding capacity, soil texture, slope, elevation, and proximity to drainage channels) to predict habitat suitability for four species of desert amphibians ...

Habitat Suitability and Distribution Models

2017
This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building, evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of species and biodiversity. Beginning with the main theory behind ecological niches and species distributions, the book proceeds through all major steps of model building, from ...
