Modelling Distributions of Asian and African Rice Based on MaxEnt

Sustainability, 2023
Rice landraces, including Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) and African rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud.), provide important genetic resources for rice breeding to address challenges related to food security. Due to climate change and farm destruction, rice landraces require urgent conservation action.

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

Oikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

Chinese High Resolution Satellite Data and GIS-Based Assessment of Landslide Susceptibility along Highway G30 in Guozigou Valley Using Logistic Regression and MaxEnt Model

Remote Sensing, 2022
Landslide disasters frequently occur along the highway G30 in the Guozigou Valley, the corridor of energy, material, economic and cultural exchange, etc., between Yili and other cities of China and Central Asia. However, little attention has been paid to

Simple MaxEnt models explain food web degree distributions [PDF]

Theoretical Ecology, 2009
Degree distributions are widely used to characterize networks, including food webs, and play a vital role in models of food web structure. To date, there have been no mechanistic or statistical explanations for the form of food web degree distributions. Here, I introduce models for food web degree distributions based on the principle of maximum entropy

Using the average spectrum method to extract dynamics from quantum Monte Carlo simulations

, 2008
We apply the Average Spectrum Method to the problem of getting the excitation spectrum from imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We show that with high quality QMC data this method reproduces the dominant spectral features very well.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Environmental Limitations and Interspecific Interactions Across the Distribution Range of Gerbils

Ecology and Evolution
To elucidate the environmental adaptability and interspecific relationships of gerbil species, we analyzed the distribution data of seven species using the Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt) and Joint Species Distribution Models (JSDMs) in relation to ...

Exploring the advantages of the maximum entropy model in calibrating cellular automata for urban growth simulation: a comparative study of four methods

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2022
As a powerful predictive technique based on machine learning, the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model has been widely used in geographic modeling. However, its performance in calibrating cellular automata (CA) for urban growth simulation has not been ...
