Cost-benefit analysis of ecological networks assessed through spatial analysis of ecosystem services [PDF]
1.The development of ecological networks could enhance the ability of species to disperse across fragmented landscapes and could mitigate against the negative impacts of climate change.

Nets versus spraying: A spatial modelling approach reveals indoor residual spraying targets Anopheles mosquito habitats better than mosquito nets in Tanzania. [PDF]
The global implementation of malaria interventions has averted hundreds of millions of clinical malaria cases in the last decade. This study assesses predicted Anopheles mosquito distributions across the United Republic of Tanzania before large-scale ...

Contrasts between the cryoconite and ice-marginal bacterial communities of Svalbard glaciers [PDF]
Cryoconite holes are foci of unusually high microbial diversity and activity on glacier surfaces worldwide, comprising melt-holes formed by the darkening of ice by biogenic granular debris.

Used-habitat calibration plots: a new procedure for validating species distribution, resource selection, and step-selection models [PDF]
“Species distribution modeling” was recently ranked as one of the top five “research fronts” in ecology and the environmental sciences by ISI's Essential Science Indicators (Renner and Warton 2013), reflecting the importance of predicting how species ...

Predicting distributions of rare species: the case of the false coral snake Rhinobothryum bovallii (Serpentes: Colubridae). Typically, the lack of enough high-quality occurrence data makes it diffcult to defne the geographic distribution of rare species.

CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES FOR WILD TURKEY RELEASE PRIORITIES IN INDIANA
: Habitat criteria based on the theoretical potential to support self‐sustaining wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) populations serve as a more objective guide for determining restoration priorities. We derived criteria from literature sources,
