The Southernmost Known Population of the Monito Del Monte, Dromiciops gliroides

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
A range extension for a relict south American marsupial. ABSTRACT The monito del monte (genus Dromiciops) is a small arboreal marsupial endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern South America, and the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria. This lineage, considered a sister group of Australian marsupials, is of great evolutionary,

Environmental Adaptation Differences Are Key Factors Determining the Speciation and Future Adaptability of the Five Closely Related Species of the Genus Ophioglossum

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study employs MaxEnt and GARP models to assess the impact of climate change on five closely related Ophioglossum species in China, which are primarily distributed southwest of the Qinling Mountains. Key climatic drivers, particularly precipitation and water vapor pressure, significantly influence their potential ranges, with most species' suitable

Niche Partitioning Promotes Coexistence: Habitat Suitability and Spatial Overlap of Three Sympatric Ungulates in a Subtropical Mountain Reserve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study assessed the habitat suitability and spatial niche differentiation of three sympatric ungulates—Black muntjac, Reeves's muntjac, and Wild boar—in the Tongbo Mountain National Nature Reserve, China. Using MaxEnt modeling and niche overlap analysis, we found distinct habitat preferences and hierarchical niche segregation that facilitate ...

Beyond Geography: Climatic Gradients Shape Reeves's Muntjac Population Structure in Taiwan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
North–south population split in Reeves's muntjac revealed by genome‐wide SNPs. Parallel divergence patterns across mammals in Taiwan suggest shared environmental drivers. Demographic modeling supports historical isolation and asymmetric gene flow.

Sympatric Distribution of Giant Pandas and Red Pandas in Sichuan Province: Habitat Overlap Patterns and Implications for the Giant Panda's Umbrella Effect

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study quantified habitat overlap between giant and red pandas in their sympatric range using the MaxEnt model, confirming a significant umbrella effect for the red panda. However, conservation gaps exist, as red pandas are more sensitive to high‐altitude areas (> 3200 m) and anthropogenic disturbance, requiring refined management strategies for ...

Preservation biases in the fossil record distort species ecological niche and distribution models

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) increasingly leverage the fossil record to understand species' environmental associations and predict their geographic distributions. However, fossils do not occur uniformly through time and space, which can compromise the robustness of ENMs and thus affect ecological conclusions. Here, we assessed how preservation biases

MaxENT tool for species modelling in India: an overview

Journal of Threatened Taxa
MaxENT has been the preferred choice for exploring the patterns and processes related to species distribution and niche models. Across the world, many researchers have used it and here we present the usage trend from the Indian context to identify the different aspects in which it is deployed including the spatial scale, geographical realm, thematic ...

Demography and dispersal influence the relationship between habitat suitability and population density

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
A central goal of ecology is to understand spatial patterns of species densities. Habitat suitability estimates from species distribution models (SDMs) could be used to represent species density and overcome the scarcity of density data. However, there is mixed evidence that habitat suitability is a reliable descriptor of density, and it is suggested ...

Estimating golden eagle carrying capacity and wind power impacts through species distribution modeling

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of species' habitat requirements, and the environmental conditions and resources needed for survival and reproduction are key factors in effective conservation management. We used species distribution modeling to study golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) habitat requirements.

Spatial Modeling of Yellowfin Tuna in the Banda Sea Based on Oceanographic Factors Using MaxEnt

Ilmu Kelautan
This study models the spatial distribution of yellowfin tuna (YFT) in the Banda Sea using the MaxEnt approach, addressing critical questions about its predictive capability, the influence of environmental variables such as sea surface temperature (SST ...
