Modeling of species distributions with Maxent: new extensions and a comprehensive evaluation
, 2008 Accurate modeling of geographic distributions of species is crucial to various applications in ecology and conservation. The best performing techniques often require some parameter tuning, which may be prohibitively time-consuming to do separately for ...

Paradoxes of MaxEnt markedness
Proceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2023 Over the past two decades, theoretical linguistics has taken a probabilistic turn. Maximum entropy (ME) has been endorsed as a model of probabilistic phonology because of its classical guarantees for grammatical inference. Yet, little is known about the basic organizing principles of ME phonology beyond circumstantial evidence of ME’s ability to fit ...

Modeling Invasive Plant Species in Kenya’s Northern Rangelands
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Kenya is composed of diverse geographic regions and is heavily impacted by climatic variability. Habitat heterogeneity has led to a diverse number of plants and animals. Invasive species, however, threaten this biodiversity. This study mapped the current
