Modelling the ecological niche of hookworm in Brazil based on climate
Geospatial Health, 2012 The distribution of hookworm in schistosomiasis-endemic areas in Brazil was mapped based on climate suitability. Known biological requirements of hookworm were fitted to data in a monthly long-term normal climate grid (18 x 18 km) using geographical ...

Modelling species presence–absence in the ecological niche theory framework using shape-constrained generalized additive models [PDF]
, 2020 According to ecological niche theory, species response curves are unimodal with respect to environmental gradients. A variety of statistical methods have been developed for species distribution modelling.

Temporal variability is key to modelling the climatic niche [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2020 Niche‐based species distribution models (SDMs) have become a ubiquitous tool in ecology and biogeography. These models relate species occurrences with the environmental conditions found at these sites.

Model-based ordination for species with unequal niche widths [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Summary It is common practice for ecologists to examine species niches in the study of community composition. The response curve of a species in the fundamental niche is usually assumed to be quadratic.

Consequences of spatial autocorrelation for niche‐based models [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2006 Summary Spatial autocorrelation is an important source of bias in most spatial analyses. We explored the bias introduced by spatial autocorrelation on the explanatory and predictive power of species’ distribution models, and make recommendations for dealing with the problem.

A Conceptual Modeling Methodology Based on Niches and Granularity [PDF]
, 2007 This paper presents a methodology for conceptual modeling which is based on a new modeling primitive, the niche, and associated constructs granularity and reconciliation. A niche is an environment where entities interact for a specific purpose, playing specific roles, and according to the norms and constraints of that environment. Granularity refers to

Selecting biological meaningful environmental dimensions of low discrepancy among ranges to predict potential distribution of Bean plataspid invasion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: The Bean plataspid (Megacopta cribraria) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), native to Asia, is becoming an invasive species in North America; its potential spread to soybean producing areas in the US is of great concern.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Lady's-slipper orchid (Cypripedium calceolus) is considered an endangered species in most countries within its geographical range. The main reason for the decline in the number of populations of this species in Europe is habitat destruction.
