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

Acta 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 ...

Confronting species distribution model predictions with species functional traits. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 AbstractSpecies distribution models are valuable tools in studies of biogeography, ecology, and climate change and have been used to inform conservation and ecosystem management. However, species distribution models typically incorporate only climatic variables and species presence data.

How can model comparison help improving species distribution models? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Today, more than ever, robust projections of potential species range shifts are needed to anticipate and mitigate the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Such projections are so far provided almost exclusively by correlative

Mapping the Abundance of Multipurpose Agroforestry Faidherbia albida Trees in Senegal
Remote Sensing, 2022 Multi-purpose Faidherbia albida trees represent a vital component of agroforestry parklands in West Africa as they provide resources (fodder for livestock, fruits and firewood) and support water lifting and nutrient recycling for cropping.

Ecological Processes, 2023 Background Abiotic factors exert different impacts on the abundance of individual tree species in the forest but little has been known about the impact of abiotic factors on the individual plant, particularly, in a tropical forest.

Predicting extinctions with species distribution models
Cambridge 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 ...

The shadow model: how and why small choices in spatially explicit species distribution models affect predictions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The use of species distribution models (SDMs) has rapidly increased over the last decade, driven largely by increasing observational evidence of distributional shifts of terrestrial and aquatic populations.
