Future Range Shifts and Diversity Patterns of Antarctic Lecideoid Lichens Under Climate Change Scenarios

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Modeling of current and future spatial distribution of Antarctic lecideoid lichens shows that warming will strongly increase the potential habitat. Under three climate‐change scenarios, most fungal and algal partners are projected to expand inland. Overall, climate change drives widespread range shifts and promotes colonization of interior Antarctica ...

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

Potential distribution and susceptibility of Coffea arabica L. to climate change impacts

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 693-711, March 2026.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are vital for understanding the impact of historical factors on ecosystems and predicting future climate change scenarios. These models help assess how environmental shifts affect agricultural species like coffee, which supports millions of people globally.

Effects of environmental factors on genetic diversity in the endangered Notopterygium incisum from the southeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study focuses on 38 populations of Notopterygium incisum from its main distribution areas (Sichuan Province, Gansu Province, and Qinghai Province), conducting molecular genetic diversity analysis and investigating the correlations between genetic variation and climatic variables, geographical distribution, and elevation gradients.

A MaxEnt-TRIGRS hybrid model with dynamic safety factor mapping for enhanced debris flow susceptibility assessment in rainfall-triggered terrains

Scientific Reports
Traditional statistical models for debris-flow susceptibility often overlook critical triggering mechanisms and geotechnical parameters. To address this, we propose an innovative framework that couples the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) statistical model with ...

CISO: Species distribution modelling Conditioned on Incomplete Species Observations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 947-962, March 2026.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict species' geographic distributions, serving as critical tools for ecological research and conservation planning. Typically, SDMs relate species occurrences to environmental variables representing abiotic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and soil properties.

Over the Hedge: Assessment of the Invasiveness and Potential Distribution of the Barrier Plant, Metrosideros excelsa (Myrtaceae), in South Africa and Beyond

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ornamental plants, including barrier or hedge plants, are important in horticulture. Occurring at the urban to natural barrier, plants are often conflict of interest species. Here, we study the invading ornamental barrier plant Metrosideros excelsa Soland ex Gaertn.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Using Open Data to Investigate Movements of the Streamer‐Tailed Tyrant (Gubernetes yetapa)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Migration is a global phenomenon shaping bird assemblages in response to seasonal climate variations. The Streamer‐tailed Tyrant (Gubernetes yetapa) is a Neotropical bird associated with wetlands. Although considered common across most of its range, its natural history remains poorly understood, and some authors have suggested it may exhibit ...

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.
