Terrestrial or marine species distribution model: Why not both? A case study with seabirds [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Species reliant on both the terrestrial and marine realms present a challenge for conventional species distribution models (SDMs). For such species, standard single‐realm SDMs may omit key information that could result in decreased model accuracy and ...

Assessing the Distribution and Richness of Mammalian Species Using a Stacking Species Distribution Model in a Temperate Forest [PDF]

Animals
This study was conducted as an effort to examine the association between mammalian species richness and environmental, anthropogenic, and bioclimate factors in the Province of Chungnam, Korea, using a stacked species distribution model (SSDM) approach ...

Evaluating species distribution model predictions through time against paleozoological records [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to project how species distributions may vary over time, particularly in response climate change. Although the fit of such models to current distributions is regularly enumerated, SDMs are rarely tested ...

Impacts of trophic interactions on the prediction of spatio-temporal distribution of mid-trophic level fishes

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Habitat models have gradually become important tools for assessing and predicting the spatio-temporal distribution of marine organisms. Species are closely associated with each other through biological processes such as predation, competition and ...

50 Years of Cumulative Open-Source Data Confirm Stable and Robust Biodiversity Distribution Patterns for Macrofungi

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Fungi are a hyper-diverse kingdom that contributes significantly to the regulation of the global carbon and nutrient cycle. However, our understanding of the distribution of fungal diversity is often hindered by a lack of data, especially on a large ...

Impacts of Climate Change on Densities of the Urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii Vary among Marine Regions in Eastern Australia

Diversity, 2023
The urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii is expanding its range southward in eastern Australia, which has been associated with negative ecological impacts, including shifts from kelp forests to barrens.

Potential distribution of three types of ephemeral plants under climate changes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
BackgroundArid and semi-arid regions account for about 40% of the world’s land surface area, and are the most sensitive areas to climate change, leading to a dramatic expansion of arid regions in recent decades. Ephemeral plants are crucial herbs in this

Nonlinearity and Spatial Autocorrelation in Species Distribution Modeling: An Example Based on Weakfish (Cynoscion regalis) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight

Fishes, 2022
Nonlinearity and spatial autocorrelation are common features observed in marine fish datasets but are often ignored or not considered simultaneously in modeling. Both features are often present within ecological data obtained across extensive spatial and

Critical Dependence of Butterflies on a Non-native Host Plant in the Urban Tropics

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Increasing urbanization in the tropics has led to the loss of natural habitats and local extirpations and the introduction of non-native plants in urban centers.
