Species distribution modeling in the tropics: problems, potentialities, and the role of biological data for effective species conservation [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we aim to investigate the problems and potentialities of species distribution modeling (SDM) as a tool for conservation planning and policy development and implementation in tropical regions.

Potential distribution range of invasive plant species in Spain [PDF]

, 2012
Success of invasive species has been frequently estimated as the present distribution range size in the introduced region. However, the present distribution range is only a picture of the invasion for a given time step and do not inform on the potential ...

Modelling the spatial distribution of three marine fish species in the southern Benguela [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding the spatial distribution of species in relationship to climatic and environmental variables is key to conservation and management of important species, as their distribution might change under climate change and variability.

The influence of spatial errors in species occurrence data on distribution models

, 2008
1. Species distribution modelling is used increasingly in both applied and theoretical research to predict how species are distributed and to understand attributes of species' environmental requirements.

Effects of sample size on the performance of species distribution models

, 2008
A wide range of modelling algorithms is used by ecologists, conservation practitioners, and others to predict species ranges from point locality data. Unfortunately, the amount of data available is limited for many taxa and regions, making it essential ...

Biogeographical ‍distributions of trickster animals

Royal Society Open Science
Human language encompasses almost endless potential for meaning, and folklore can theoretically incorporate themes beyond time and space. However, actual distributions of the themes are not always universal and their constraints remain unclear.
