Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We investigated the habitat suitability and landscape connectivity of the endangered forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) at its northernmost known distribution limit using multi‐scale ensemble modeling and circuit theory. Our results highlight a scale‐dependent reliance on macro‐scale steep terrain and micro‐scale thermal refugia, while revealing ...

MaxEnt Projections of Climate‐Driven Distribution Shifts for Daphniphyllum calycinum in China
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Using an optimized MaxEnt model, this study projects climate‐driven distribution shifts of Daphniphyllum calycinum, an ecologically and medicinally important subtropical tree in China. Results reveal that annual mean temperature and dry season precipitation primarily govern its distribution, with future warming scenarios projecting significant habitat ...

Diagnostic Methods for Maxent Models in Ecology
, 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. Despite its popularity, Maxent lacks the diagnostic tools available to more mature statistical models. In

Ghost in the Prairie: Using Community Science and MaxEnt to Model the Habitat of a Rare Mesopredator
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) have experienced severe range declines in Texas, making identification of suitable habitat critical for conservation and potential reintroduction efforts. We used maximum entropy modeling with community science data from iNaturalist and remotely sensed environmental variables to predict the potential distribution of swift ...

Distribution Shifts of Vaccinium Berry Wild Relatives in China Under Climate and Land‐Use Changes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Using ensemble species distribution models, we projected the future distributions of eight Vaccinium berry wild relatives in China under climate and land‐use changes, as well as different dispersal scenarios. Most species were predicted to experience range contraction and higher latitude shifts, while climatic variables exerted stronger effects than ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how climate change will affect the foundation of giant panda habitat—its bamboo food resources—at a biologically meaningful scale. While previous assessments often relied on coarse‐resolution climate data, we present the first 30 m‐resolution projections for all 20 key bamboo species across the panda'

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Using an ensemble species distribution modelling framework (MaxEnt, Random Forest and Boosted Regression Trees), we compared the projected climate‐driven range shifts of two ecologically contrasting invasive plants in Turkey—the hydrophilic Eichhornia crassipes and the xerophytic Solanum elaeagnifolium —under three CMIP6 scenarios (SSP2‐4.5, SSP3‐7.0 ...

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae) was previously known from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. Here we document the first confirmed occurrences of this species in Colombia and develop a distribution model based on collections from the Andean–Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Cauca, and Putumayo departments, in order to clarify its conservation ...

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus
