phyr: An R package for phylogenetic species-distribution modelling in ecological communities

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Model-based approaches are increasingly popular in ecological studies. A good example of this trend is the use of joint species distribution models to ask questions about ecological communities.

Updating known distribution models for forecasting climate change impact on endangered species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
To plan endangered species conservation and to design adequate management programmes, it is necessary to predict their distributional response to climate change, especially under the current situation of rapid change.

blockCV: an R package for generating spatially or environmentally separated folds for k-fold cross-validation of species distribution models

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
When applied to structured data, conventional random cross-validation techniques can lead to underestimation of prediction error, and may result in inappropriate model selection.

Species distribution models have limited spatial transferability for invasive species.

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2020
The reliability of transferring species distribution models (SDMs) to new ranges and future climates has been widely debated. Biological invasions offer the unique opportunity to evaluate model transferability, as distribution data between species ...

Biogeographical ‍distributions of trickster animals

open access: yesRoyal 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.

Multiscale effects of habitat loss and degradation on occurrence and landscape connectivity of a threatened subspecies

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2021
Land use change can result in complex environments of varying habitat quality and permeability that directly and indirectly influence the effectiveness of natural areas for wildlife conservation.

Variations of Supercooling Capacity in Intertidal Gastropods

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Winter low-temperature confines species distribution. Intertidal gastropods are distributed from tropical to polar zones, facing variable intensities and durations of low temperatures.

Delineating generalized species boundaries from species distribution data and a species distribution model [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2013
Species distribution models (SDM) are commonly used to provide information about species ranges or extents, and often are intended to represent the entire area of potential occupancy or suitable habitat in which individuals occur. While SDMs can provide results over various geographic extents, they normally operate within a grid and cannot delimit ...

Altitudinal Variations in Coniferous Vegetation and Soil Carbon Storage in Kalam Temperate Forest, Pakistan

open access: yesPlants
Understanding the complex interplay among altitudinal gradients, tree species diversity, structural attributes, and soil carbon (C) is critical for effective coniferous forest management and climate change mitigation. This study addresses a knowledge gap
