Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...

Climate refugia identification as high‐priority areas to improve ecosystem conservation in central Chile

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate refugia through the integration of topographic and biodiversity features offer a practical method to expand protection networks in central Chile. Our results show that the inclusion of relatively small climate refugia areas to protection networks can greatly improve ecosystem representation, advancing toward meeting Target 3 of the Kunming ...

Leveraging obligate mutualism to resolve the rare species modeling paradox

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have emerged as vital tools for devising biodiversity conservation planning, yet modeling rare, data‐deficient species remains a significant challenge. To address this “rare species modelling paradox,” we propose a novel approach which posits that under the condition of significant niche overlap between the obligate ...

Small lesion, big challenge? Diagnosis of small diameter melanocytic lesions by dermatologists using AI support

open access: yesJDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background Dermoscopy enhances melanoma detection, but small‐diameter melanomas (SDMs) remain diagnostically challenging. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) may detect subtle patterns beyond human perception. This study evaluates how lesion diameter influences the diagnostic accuracy of dermatologists, with and without CNN support.

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.
