Phylo‐biogeographical distribution of whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Insecta: Aleyrodidae) mitotypes in Ecuador

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
The Bemisia tabaci complex in Ecuador was studied with respect to phylogenetic relationships and eco‐geographical distribution. Whitefly samples were collected from natural and agricultural environments in nine provinces of Ecuador (latitude, 2° N–5° S ...

Evaluating the distribution of freshwater fish diversity using a multispecies habitat suitability model to assess impacts of proposed dam development in Gabon, Africa

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2020
Data scarcity impedes a comprehensive impact assessment of the 38 dams currently proposed within the highly biodiverse central African nation of Gabon. Here, we present a multiple‐species MaxEnt distribution modeling approach to assess species richness ...

Decline of Tephroseris helenitis in Hessia (Germany) over the last 120 years: Modeling implies the gradual disappearance of its temperature niche for flower induction and germination

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Tephroseris helenitis is a perennial herb that experienced a severe decline of species records over the last 120 years in the state of Hessia, Germany. Here, the species is found in humid habitats with moderate temperatures.

‘Niche’ or ‘distribution’ modelling? A response to Warren

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2013
Recently, Warren [1] argued that correlative modelling of species distribution and environmental data should be described as Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) rather than Species Distribution Modelling (SDM). Although discussions of terminology could be posed as semantics and nit-picking, they are symptomatic of deeper challenges to robustly define the ...

Leveraging Public Data to Predict Global Niches and Distributions of Rhizostome Jellyfishes

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
As climate change progresses rapidly, biodiversity declines, and ecosystems shift, it is becoming increasingly difficult to document dynamic populations, track fluctuations, and predict responses to climate change.

Projected distribution of the westernmost subpopulation of Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis pelops) under climate change: conservation implications of a threatened population

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
Anthropogenic climate change can have a negative impact on the distribution of habitat specialist species with narrow distributional ranges. Among the many areas around the world affected by climate change, the Himalayan region in particular is ...
