Mountain Riparian Zones as Refugia for Rare and Endangered Plants Under Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study integrates Species Distribution Models and the InVEST model to project the distribution of 32 rare and endangered plants in the Irtysh River Basin under climate change. Results predict range contractions for 60% of species by 2050 and reveal that 80% of species currently fall outside protected areas, despite the role of mountains as climate ...

Ecological and Social Dimensions of Human–Bear Coexistence in Nepal's Gaurishankar Conservation Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We modelled habitat suitability for Asiatic black bears in Nepal's Gaurishankar Conservation Area and combined it with community surveys to understand human–bear coexistence. Our results show that bear habitat is concentrated between 1000 and 3000 m and that conflict is rising in forest‐edge communities.

A National‐Scale Assessment of Bare‐Nosed Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) Distribution Patterns, Using Multisource Data

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We used public databases and citizen science data entered into WomSAT to model and predict the distribution of bare‐nosed wombats across Australia. ABSTRACT Current understanding of bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus) distribution has focused on specific regions, and human–wombat issues (e.g., burrowing leading to undermining fence integrity and ...

Climate Change and Hydropower Impacts on Habitat Suitability of Endangered Schizothoracinae Fishes in the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
FA and Bio11 are key factors impacting Schizothorax species’ habitats. The Saga, Angren, and Miling counties were suitable areas considering hydropower. Schizothorax species will increase upriver and lose lower habitats in the future. Schizothorax species were exhibited an upstream movement trend in the future.

A Multi‐Factor Habitat Suitability Model for Asian Elephants in the Greater Mekong Subregion: Effects of Vegetation and Climate

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study assessed the combined effects of climate change and vegetation factors on the habitat suitability of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in the Greater Mekong Subregion. By integrating MaxEnt modeling with structural equation modeling, we identified plant distribution as a key determinant of elephant habitat selection under future climate ...

A Hybrid MaxEnt/HMM based ASR System

open access: yes, 2005
The aim of this work is to develop a practical framework, which extends the classical Hidden Markov Models (HMM) for continuous speech recognition based on the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) principle. The MaxEnt models can estimate the posterior probabilities

Species Distribution Models and Abundance Estimates Enhance Breeding Bird Atlas Data

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our primary goal was to leverage the large amount of systematic and volunteer‐based data produced by the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas to develop species distribution models and population estimates for as many breeding bird species as possible. We utilized three complementary techniques to develop species distribution models and maps for 136 breeding ...

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (Cuon alpinus Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.
