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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Potential Geographic Range of the Endangered Reed Parrotbill Paradoxornis heudei under Climate Change

open access: yesBiology, 2023
The phenomenon of global climate change can impact the geographic range and biodiversity, thereby heightening the vulnerability of rare species to extinction.

Potential effects of climate change on the distribution of invasive bullfrogs Lithobates catesbeianus in China

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2020
Climate plays important roles in determining the geographical distribution of species, including the invasion area of alien species. Little is known, however, about the influence of climate change on the distribution area of invasive amphibian species in

Monotonicity-constrained species distribution models [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2011
Flexible modeling frameworks for species distribution models based on generalized additive models that allow for smooth, nonlinear effects and interactions are of increasing importance in ecology. Commonly, the flexibility of such smooth function estimates is controlled by means of penalized estimation procedures.

Predicting extinctions with species distribution models

open access: yesCambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Abstract Predictions of species-level extinction risk from climate change are mostly based on species distribution models (SDMs). Reviewing the literature, we summarise why the translation of SDM results to extinction risk is conceptually and methodologically challenged and why critical SDM assumptions are unlikely to be met under ...

Predicted Hotspot Map Dataset for Endangered Wild Plants in the Republic of Korea [PDF]

open access: yesGeo Data
This study applied species distribution models (SDM) to terrestrial plants classified as Endangered Wild Species within the plant taxa, creating a hotspot (species richness) map covering the entire territory of the South Korea amid the biodiversity ...

Multi-Scenario Species Distribution Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesInsects, 2019
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly being used to predict suitable insect habitats. There is also much criticism of prediction discrepancies among different SDMs for the same species and the lack of effective communication about SDM prediction uncertainty.

Comparison of single- and multi-scale models for the prediction of the Culicoides biting midge distribution in Germany

open access: yesGeospatial Health, 2016
This study analysed Culicoides presence-absence data from 46 sampling sites in Germany, where monitoring was carried out from April 2007 until May 2008.

Rana temporaria on Monti della Laga (Central Italy): isolated population or wide distribution? First record in Abruzzo and Marche

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2021
In Central Italy Rana temporaria is only known to occur as a glacial relict on the eastern side of Monti della Laga (Lazio). In this study we report the presence of the species in other areas of the mountain chain, with documented sightings in five ...
