Ecological Niche Modelling Approaches: Challenges and Applications in Vector-Borne Diseases [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023 Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) pose a major threat to human and animal health, with more than 80% of the global population being at risk of acquiring at least one major VBD.

The King’s Lace Bug Recaredus rex Distant, 1909 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae): Systematic Position, First Palaearctic and Afrotropical Records, and Ecological Niche Modelling [PDF]
Insects, 2022 The systematic position and actual distribution of Recaredus rex, for a long time one of the most enigmatic lace bug genus and species, is very obscure because only the type specimen and three other individuals from India are known to date.

Eltonian Niche Modelling: Applying Joint Hierarchical Niche Models to Ecological Networks. [PDF]
Ecol LettABSTRACT There is currently a dichotomy in the modelling of Grinnellian and Eltonian niches. Despite similar underlying data, Grinnellian niches are modelled with species‐distribution models (SDMs), whereas Eltonian niches are modelled with ecological‐network analysis, mainly because the sparsity of species‐interaction data prevents ...

Predicting the distribution of Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus in Europe: a comparison of climate niche modelling approaches [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background The ticks Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus are two of the most important vectors in Europe. Climate niche modelling has been used in many studies to attempt to explain their distribution and to predict changes under a range of ...

The combination of genomic offset and niche modelling provides insights into climate change-driven vulnerability [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Species responses to climate change may be challenging to predict. Here, the authors demonstrate the value of combining genomics, niche modelling, and landscape connectivity to estimate population-level vulnerability under future climate scenarios in two

Multiple markers, niche modelling, and bioregions analyses to evaluate the genetic diversity of a plant species complex [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The classification of closely related plants is not straightforward. These morphologically similar taxa frequently maintain their inter-hybridization potential and share ancestral polymorphisms as a consequence of their recent divergence ...

Modeling a primate technological niche [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractThe ability to modify the environment through the transport of tools has been instrumental in shaping the evolutionary success of humans. Understanding the cause-and-effect relationships between hominin behavior and the environment ultimately requires understanding of how the archaeological record forms. Observations of living primates can shed

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Non-coding repetitive DNA (repeatome) is an active part of the nuclear genome, involved in its structure, evolution and function. It is dominated by transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNA and is prone to the most rapid changes over time.
