Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...

Urbanization Drives Habitat Suitability of the Invasive Cuban Knight Anole (Anolis equestris) in Florida, USA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
This study evaluates climatic and anthropogenic drivers influencing habitat suitability of invasive Cuban knight anole (Anolis equestris) in Florida and assesses their potential impact on three species of threatened invertebrates due to habitat overlap ...

Leveraging obligate mutualism to resolve the rare species modeling paradox

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have emerged as vital tools for devising biodiversity conservation planning, yet modeling rare, data‐deficient species remains a significant challenge. To address this “rare species modelling paradox,” we propose a novel approach which posits that under the condition of significant niche overlap between the obligate ...

Local environment shapes habitat suitability of the endangered mint Dicerandra cornutissima

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Using a fine‐scale ecological niche model at 250 m resolution, we identified suitable habitat for the extremelynarrow endemic Dicerandra cornutissima across its known and surrounding range. Field validation confirmed characteristic habitat at predicted suitable sites, while gap analysis showed that only 26% of suitable habitat occurs within protected ...

Taxonomic concepts continued: iNaturalist

open access: yes, 2020
Following on from my earlier post ("Taxonomic concepts for dummies"), Beckett Sterner commented: iNaturalist is interesting, but I'm not convinced that it is internally consistent. As a quick rule of thumb, I'm looking for patterns of how name changes relate to taxon identifier changes.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.
