Livelisystems: a conceptual framework integrating social, ecosystem, development and evolutionary theory [PDF]

, 2014
Human activity poses multiple environmental challenges for ecosystems that have intrinsic value and also support that activity. Our ability to address these challenges is constrained, inter alia, by weaknesses in cross disciplinary understandings of ...

The distribution of Phytophthora cinnamomi in the Americas is related to its main host (Persea americana), but with high potential for expansion

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2021
Phytophthora cinnamomi is among the most destructive plant pathogens that affect many host plants in different ecosystems. Economically important hosts of this pathogen include avocado (Persea americana), and this oomycete may cause large-scale ...

Species-specific ecological niche modelling predicts different range contractions for Lutzomyia intermedia and a related vector of Leishmania braziliensis following climate change in South America [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Before 1996 the phlebotomine sand fly Lutzomyia neivai was usually treated as a synonym of the morphologically similar Lutzomyia intermedia, which has long been considered a vector of Leishmania braziliensis, the causative agent of much ...

Niche models at inter- and intraspecific levels reveal hierarchical niche differentiation in midwife toads [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractVariation and population structure play key roles in the speciation process, but adaptive intraspecific genetic variation is commonly ignored when forecasting species niches. Amphibians serve as excellent models for testing how climate and local adaptations shape species distributions due to physiological and dispersal constraints and long ...

Hierarchical heterogenity of populations: modeling by the open Eigen hypercycle [PDF]

, 2012
The case of a biological population, which consists of sev-eral sub-populations (different kinds of the population ”so-cial” groups: families, bevies, etc.), has been considered.

Deconstructing niche shifts: Using native and non-native records to assess the invasion potential of geographically constrained species

Ecological Informatics
Geographically-constrained species typically occupy small climatic niches in their native range, and are therefore often assumed to pose a low risk of becoming invasive.

Advances and links between ecological niche models and phylogeography

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2016
Phylogeography and ecological niche modelling are two key approaches advancing biogeography. A special issue of Folia Zoologica (64: 2015) considers these advances in eight articles, including two reviews—on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and ...

Uncertainties in predicting species distributions under climate change: a case study using Tetranychus evansi (Acari: Tetranychidae), a widespread agricultural pest. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Many species are shifting their distributions due to climate change and to increasing international trade that allows dispersal of individuals across the globe. In the case of agricultural pests, such range shifts may heavily impact agriculture.

Evolutionary connectionism: algorithmic principles underlying the evolution of biological organisation in evo-devo, evo-eco and evolutionary transitions [PDF]

, 2015
The mechanisms of variation, selection and inheritance, on which evolution by natural selection depends, are not fixed over evolutionary time. Current evolutionary biology is increasingly focussed on understanding how the evolution of developmental ...

Niche Modeling - Model Evaluation

Biodiversity Informatics, 2012
Ecological niche modeling has become a very popular tool in ecological and biogeographic studies across broad extents. The tool is used in hundreds of publications each year now, but some fundamental aspects of the approach have seen a fair amount of carelessness. Among these aspects is that of model evaluation or validation.
