Exploring Habitat Preferences, Suitability, and Illegal Trade Routes of Indian Pangolins in Western Pakistan: Implications for Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study assessed habitat preferences, suitability, and illegal trade routes of the endangered Indian pangolin in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Using field surveys and MaxEnt modeling, we identified fragmented habitats with only 22% classified as highly suitable, alongside key poaching and trafficking pathways.

Modeling Climate Change Impacts on a Socioeconomically Vital Plant: The Case of <i>Comanthera elegans</i> (Goldenfoot Flower). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Comanthera elegans, an ecologically important species in rocky grasslands, is projected to face significant habitat loss under future climate change scenarios. Modeling with the Maxent algorithm showed that its suitable habitats, defined by high rainfall seasonality and moderate temperatures, are at risk, especially under high greenhouse gas emissions.

Conservation Challenges and Opportunities for <i>Fokienia hodginsii</i> in the Wuyi Mountains Under Climate Change and Human Influence. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We assessed current and future habitat suitability for the vulnerable conifer Fokienia hodginsii across the Wuyi Mountains using climate, soil, and human footprint data, comparing four species distribution models and selecting MaxEnt as best. Climate—especially temperature ranges—dominated suitability, while soil and human influence were secondary ...

Demographic and ecogeographic factors limit wild grapevine spread at the southern edge of its distribution range

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The spatial distribution of plants is constrained by demographic and ecogeographic factors that determine the range and abundance of the species. Wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera ssp.

Potential Distribution Pattern and Ecological Suitability Analysis of <i>Hippophae Tibetana</i> Schltdl in China Based on the MaxEnt Model. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study used the MaxEnt model and ArcGIS software to predict the suitable habitat distribution of Hippophae tibetana under contemporary and future (2050s, 2070s) climate scenarios. By analyzing the relationship between the geographical distribution of Hippophae tibetana and bioclimatic factors, the study found that the main factors limiting the ...

Assessing Habitat Suitability and Range Dynamics of <i>Syzygium alternifolium</i> (Wight) Walp Under Future Climatic Scenarios. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We modeled the current and future habitat suitability of the endangered tree species Syzygium alternifolium using MaxEnt under two climate scenarios (SSP245 and SSP585) for 2050 and 2070. The model showed high accuracy (AUC = 0.93), with significant future range expansion projected outside protected areas, highlighting urgent conservation gaps.

Distribution Pattern, Ecological Determinants and Conservation Gaps of Model-Predicted Relative Probability of Occurrence Zones for the Tufted Deer (<i>Elaphodus cephalophus</i>) in China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study analyzed the habitat suitability of the tufted deer, a rare and endemic ungulate in China, using the MaxEnt model and found that suitable habitats are mainly concentrated in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces. However, the majority of these areas are not covered by existing protected areas, highlighting the urgent need to expand ...

Habitat Quality Assessment Within Expanded Ranges of Dengue Vectors Using a Composite Index Scale. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using MaxEnt and a novel Composite Index Scale (CIS), we quantified habitat quality for Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus across historical and future (SSP1–4) climate scenarios in Asia. We found that vulnerable suitable habitat areas for A. aegypti and A.

Quantal effects and MaxEnt [PDF]

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2012
Convex operational models (COMs) are considered as great extrapolations to larger settings of any statistical theory. In this article, we generalize the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) of Jaynes’ to any COM. After expressing MaxEnt in a geometrical and lattice theoretical setting, we are able to cast it for any COM.
