We assessed the distribution of 14 threatened agamid lizard species using Species Distribution Modeling to identify hotspots for these species' conservation. Based on the results, high‐priority areas of threatened agamids were projected to occur specially in the wet zone.

Long‐Distance Corridors Facilitate Asian Elephant Adaptation to Climate Change 长距离廊道有助于亚洲象适应气候变化
Climate change presents significant challenges for Asian elephants, forcing them to either remain in degraded habitats or seek new ones. But, remaining would lead to resource shortages, while moving is hindered by movement barriers. This study integrates species distribution models (MaxEnt) and the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model to construct

Gaoligong Mountain is home to a large number of rare and endangered species, but the effectiveness of conservation measures in the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve remains uncertain. We predicted the potential distribution areas of 361 rare and endangered wild plants in southern Gaoligong Mountain under current and future climate change scenarios and ...

Understanding the potential impacts of projected climate change scenarios on critically endangered species is critical to guide effective conservation planning. Species distribution modelling techniques such as MaxEnt are increasingly becoming important tools for predicting habitat shifts in response to projected climate change scenarios.

Environmental niche models improve species identification in DNA barcoding
Abstract Recent advances in DNA barcoding have immeasurably advanced global biodiversity research in the last two decades. However, inherent limitations in barcode sequences, such as hybridization, introgression or incomplete lineage sorting can lead to misidentifications when relying solely on barcode sequences.

鸻鹬类涉禽是目前比较珍稀的一类迁徙鸟类。预测迁徙鸟类的栖息地适宜性与其他物种不完全相同,人类影响、土地类型等因素在其中起到主导作用。本文利用Maxent模型,结合2006~2013年东洞庭湖区鸟类调查数据和环境影响因子,对东洞庭湖区3种优势种鸻鹬类涉禽的栖息地适宜性进行分析。结果表明:环境因子的选择在栖息地适宜性模型建立过程中至关重要,对于东洞庭湖的候鸟来说,土地利用是影响其栖息地质量的重要环境因子; 模型的评价效果优秀; 2006~2009年东洞庭湖区适宜性区域约占总面积的25%,2010 ...

A standard approach for including climate change responses in IUCN Red List assessments
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is a central tool for extinction risk monitoring and influences global biodiversity policy and action. But, to be effective, it is crucial that it consistently accounts for each driver of extinction.

Wildlife mortality risk posed by high and low traffic roads
Abstract Wildlife mortality due to collisions with vehicles (roadkill) is one of the predominant negative effects exerted by roads on many wildlife species. Reducing roadkill is therefore a major component of wildlife conservation. Roadkill is affected by various factors, including road attributes and traffic volume.

气候变化是导致生境丧失和生物多样性下降的主要因素之一。研究气候变化对物种生境的影响对于保护物种多样性,维护生态系统功能完整性具有重要意义。本研究以新疆为研究区域,以塔里木兔、草兔和雪兔为研究对象,选取可能影响它们生境分布的10个环境因子,利用MaxEnt模型预测它们当前和未来RCP 4.5和RCP 8.5两种气候情景下2041—2060年(2050s)、2061—2080年(2070s)的潜在生境分布,并找出影响生境分布的关键因子。研究结果表明,模型预测新疆兔属3个物种生境分布的精度达到较高水平 ...
