Ecological Niche Modeling: An Introduction for Veterinarians and Epidemiologists

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Most infectious diseases in animals are not distributed randomly. Instead, diseases in livestock and wildlife are predictable in terms of the geography, time, and species affected. Ecological niche modeling approaches have been crucial to the advancement

Differential Adaptive Potential and Vulnerability to Climate-Driven Habitat Loss in Brazilian Mangroves

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
Geographic and environmental differences have been identified as factors influencing Brazilian mangrove trees' genetic diversity. Geographically, distinct species have convergent spatial genetic structures, indicating a limited gene flow between northern

Different Patterns of Ecological Divergence Between Two Tetraploids and Their Diploid Counterpart in a Parapatric Linear Coastal Distribution Polyploid Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Polyploidization is a widespread mechanism of evolutionary divergence in flowering plants. Ecological divergence of polyploid lineages has been proposed as a key process shaping the distribution of cytotypes in nature (niche shift hypothesis); however ...
