Explicit probabilistic models for databases and networks

open access: yes, 2009
Recent work in data mining and related areas has highlighted the importance of the statistical assessment of data mining results. Crucial to this endeavour is the choice of a non-trivial null model for the data, to which the found patterns can be ...

Behavioral, Ecological, and Morphological Data Suggest a Close Relationship Between the Ant Colobopsis truncata and the Gall Wasp Aphelonyx cerricola

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

A Sparse Stress Model

open access: yes, 2016
Force-directed layout methods constitute the most common approach to draw general graphs. Among them, stress minimization produces layouts of comparatively high quality but also imposes comparatively high computational demands.

Resource Availability and Habitat Quality Drive Time‐Lag Effects in High‐Altitude Ungulate Distribution

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Applying the maximum entropy principle to neural networks enhances multi‐species distribution models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing volume of presence‐only (PO) data generated by citizen science initiatives has greatly expanded biodiversity databases, but the statistical use of these data in species distribution models (SDMs) remains limited by strong sampling biases and the absence of reliable absence information.

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Rodent Species Habitats in the Ordos Desert Steppe, China

open access: yesAnimals
Climate change is driving the restructuring of global biological communities. As a species sensitive to climate change, studying the response of small rodents to climate change is helpful to indirectly understand the changes in ecology and biodiversity ...

Use of Maximum Entropy Modeling in Wildlife Research

open access: yesEntropy, 2009
Maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling has great potential for identifying distributions and habitat selection of wildlife given its reliance on only presence locations.

Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...
