Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Data integration improves species distribution forecasts under novel ocean conditions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Accurate forecasts of species distributions in response to changing climate is essential for proactive management and conservation decision‐making. However, species distribution models (SDMs) often have limited capacity to produce robust forecasts under novel environmental conditions, partly due to limitations in model training data.

Estimating Arctic sea-ice freeze-up and break-up from the satellite record: A comparison of different approaches in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2016
1. Abstract The recognized importance of the annual cycle of sea ice in the Arctic to heat budgets, human behavior, and ecosystem functions, requires consistent definitions of such key events in the ice cycle as break-up and freeze-up.

Construction of Domain Knowledge Graph Base for Coal Mine Rock‐Burst Prediction and Prevention Based on Ontology

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In China, as the mining depth of coal mines increases, the occurrence conditions of coal seams are becoming increasingly complex, leading to a continuous rise in the risk of rock‐burst. The frequent occurrence of such accidents has caused severe losses to the safe production of coal mines.

Coral Bleaching in the Persian/Arabian Gulf Is Modulated by Summer Winds

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Corals in the Persian/Arabian Gulf are the most thermally tolerant in the world, but live very near the thresholds of their thermal tolerance. Warming sea temperatures associated with climate change have resulted in numerous coral bleaching events ...

Enhancing In Situ Burning With Ferrocene for Improved Combustion and Reduced Smoke Production

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In situ burning (ISB) is an efficient response strategy for oil spills; however, incomplete combustion and excessive smoke production hinder its wider application. In this study, the effectiveness of using ferrocene as additives to improve the thermal behaviors and kinetics of combustion of different crude oils (Hibernia, Hebron, Dilbit and ...

SynCom‐mediated herbicide degradation activates microbial carbon metabolism in soils

iMeta, EarlyView.
Extensive herbicide residues in the black soil of northeastern China are considered a significant agricultural pollution threat, yet effective bioremediation of this complex and persistent mixture remains a challenge. We provided an herbicide degradation and ecosystem regulation model of SynCom in soil. We also demonstrated the effectiveness of SynCom “

Insights Into the Distribution of Two Bloom‐Forming Dinoflagellates of Phytosanitary Concern Using Regional and Global Temperature Data

International Review of Hydrobiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large bloom‐forming dinoflagellates can alter aquatic biodiversity and impact human use, posing conservation challenges. We used the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to predict the potential distribution of two Ceratium congeners, C. hirundinella and C.

Evidence of local adaptation in a waterfall-climbing Hawaiian goby fish derived from coupled biophysical modeling of larval dispersal and post-settlement selection

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Local adaptation of marine and diadromous species is thought to be a product of larval dispersal, settlement mortality, and differential reproductive success, particularly in heterogeneous post-settlement habitats.
