Extensive Pollen Flow and Historical Population Expansions Shaped the Phylogeographic Pattern of Choerospondias axillaris: Evidence From Chloroplast DNA and ITS Sequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
MaxEnt‐based predictions reveal dramatic range dynamics of Choerospondias axillaris during Quaternary climate cycles, including northward expansion during the last interglacial, southward contraction into fragmented refugia during the last glacial maximum, and subsequent northward recolonization since the post‐glacial period.

Climate Change Alters Elevational Distribution Patterns of Cormus domestica Habitat

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study utilizes species distribution models to project the habitat shifts of Cormus domestica in Italy, predicting a substantial range reduction of 32%–68% by 2100 driven primarily by rising annual mean temperatures. The results indicate a significant shift of suitable habitats toward higher elevations, creating a scenario where the necessary ...

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 ...

Current and Future Potential Distribution of the Invasive Thrips Echinothrips americanus (Terebrantia: Thripidae) Under Global Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study predicted the potential global distribution of invasive pest Echinothrips americanus using MaxEnt models, revealing its primary habitats concentrated in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa (total area ~ 3.41 × 107 km2). Under future climate scenarios, marginally suitable areas are projected to contract significantly, while ...

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Reviewing and benchmarking ecological modelling practices in the context of land use

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Despite habitat loss and degradation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, different conclusions have been drawn about the importance of land‐use or land‐cover (LULC) change for biodiversity. Differences may be due to the difficulty of framing a coherent model design to assess LULC effects.

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Predicting woodpecker damage in utility infrastructure in the southeastern United States using species distribution modeling

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Predicting areas of wildlife damage can reduce long‐term costs. We developed and tested models of the geographic distribution of damage by woodpeckers to utility infrastructure and delineated areas of greater importance. Abstract Predicting areas of wildlife damage to human development has the potential to reduce long‐term costs associated with ...

Non-Monotonic Reasoning on Probability Models: Indifference,Independence &MaxEnt [PDF]

, 1995
Through completing an underspecified probability model, Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) supports non-monotonic inferences. Some major aspects of how this is done by MaxEnt can be understood from the background of two principles of rational decision: the concept of Indifference and the concept of Independence. In a formal specification MaxEnt can be viewed as (
