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

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]
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
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]
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]
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.

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 ...
