Cost-benefit analysis of ecological networks assessed through spatial analysis of ecosystem services [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
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 ...

Living at the edge: biogeographic patterns of habitat segregation conform to speciation by niche expansion in Anopheles gambiae

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2009
Background Ongoing lineage splitting within the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae is compatible with ecological speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation by divergent natural selection acting on two populations exploiting alternative ...

Threatened fauna protections compromised by agricultural interests in Australia

open access: yesConservation Letters, 2023
Australia is a global leader in land clearing and biodiversity loss. The overwhelming majority of land clearing within Australia and, globally, is driven by agricultural conversion.

A General Approach for the Analysis of Habitat Selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Investigating habitat selection of animals aims at the detection of preferred and avoided habitat types as well as at the identification of covariates influencing the choice of certain habitat types.

Contrasts between the cryoconite and ice-marginal bacterial communities of Svalbard glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Research, 2013
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]

open access: yes, 2018
“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)

open access: yesPhyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2020
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

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 1990
: 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,
