Cambio climático y predicción de incendios al 2050 en el Bosque La Primavera, Jalisco

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales, 2017
Durante las últimas dos décadas, los incendios se han incrementado en frecuencia e intensidad en diversas partes del mundo. Las principales causas de estos patrones se asocian, tanto a las actividades de uso de suelo como a los cambios en el clima.

Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the Mediterranean

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

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 ...

Objective Bayesianism and the Maximum Entropy Principle

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Objective Bayesian epistemology invokes three norms: the strengths of our beliefs should be probabilities; they should be calibrated to our evidence of physical probabilities; and they should otherwise equivocate sufficiently between the basic ...

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 ...

Diagnostic Methods for Maxent Models in Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Understanding the geographic distributions of species is a fundamental problem in ecology. Many different statistical methods for modelling species distributions exist, but the most popular method is currently the machine learning algorithm Maxent ...

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 ...

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.
