Climate Change Shapes Suitable Habitat and Ecological Niche Overlap Between Hyphantria cunea and Its Parasitoid Chouioia cunea in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
*Hyphantria cunea* is a highly invasive forest pest in China, and its parasitoid *Chouioia cunea* is widely used for biological control, though climate change may alter their spatial matching. Using ensemble species distribution models under multiple SSP scenarios, we found that suitable habitats for both species are projected to expand, with ...

Predicting current and future potential habitat distribution of fig tree (Ficus-Carica) in Morocco using Maxent Modeling

African and Mediterranean Agricultural Journal - Al Awamia
Climate change scenarios predict that fruit tree production will be impacted mainly by drought and high temperatures. The fig tree is considered as a hardy tree resistant to drought which makes it, in the context of climate change, a good alternative to ...

Climate and Land‐Use Change May Reshape the Biogeography of Freshwater Crabs Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We employed ensemble species distribution models to investigate how climate and land‐use change will impact habitat suitability for two freshwater crab families (Potamidae and Sesarmidae) across China. Temperature emerged as the dominant driver, with cropland and urban land having strong, family‐specific effects on suitability. Future scenarios predict

Assessing the Transferability of Species Distribution Models: A Cross‐Continental Evaluation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study confirms that the conventional approach, namely using random holdout test datasets and the AUC, fails to reliably assess model transferability. Instead, using spatially independent test datasets and the RWIP provides a more robust evaluation approach.

Determinants of Seasonal Elephant Habitat Use in Small and Enclosed Conservation Area: Mwea National Reserve, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study investigated the drivers of seasonal habitat use by African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the fenced Mwea National Reserve, using dung‐based surveys and MaxEnt models. Results showed that water and forage availability primarily shaped dry‐season distribution, while boundary effects were more influential in the wet season, with ...

Climate‐Driven Habitat Suitability Modeling for the Vulnerable Species Euryops pinifolius A. Rich in Ethiopia: Implications for Conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Euryops pinifolius, vulnerable plant species in Ethiopia's Afroalpine ecosystem, faces serious threats from overexploitation for fuelwood. Using the MaxEnt model (AUC = 0.985), this study identified key environmental factors‐such as temperature, altitude, vegetation cover, and precipitation seasonality‐affecting its current and future habitat ...

Extensive Pollen Flow and Historical Population Expansions Shaped the Phylogeographic Pattern of Choerospondias axillaris: Evidence From Chloroplast DNA and ITS Sequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
MaxEnt‐based predictions reveal dramatic range dynamics of Choerospondias axillaris during Quaternary climate cycles, including northward expansion during the last interglacial, southward contraction into fragmented refugia during the last glacial maximum, and subsequent northward recolonization since the post‐glacial period.
