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

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

Need for split: integrative taxonomy reveals unnoticed diversity in the subaquatic species of Pseudohygrohypnum (Pylaisiaceae, Bryophyta) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 We present an integrative molecular and morphological study of subaquatic representatives of the genus Pseudohygrohypnum (Pylaisiaceae, Bryophyta), supplemented by distribution modelling of the revealed phylogenetic lineages.

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.

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.

Species lifetime distribution for simple models of ecologies [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Interpretation of empirical results based on a taxa's lifetime distribution shows apparently conflicting results. Species' lifetime is reported to be exponentially distributed, whereas higher-order taxa, such as families or genera, follow a broader distribution, compatible with power-law decay.

Bounding species distribution models [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2011 Abstract Species distribution models are increasing in popularity for mapping suitable habitat for species of management concern. Many investigators now recognize that extrapolations of these models with geographic information systems (GIS) might be sensitive to the environmental bounds of the data used in their development, yet there is

Suitable habitat prediction with a huge set of variables on some Central Asian tulips
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2023 Tulipa (Liliaceae) is cultivated as an ornamental plant worldwide and its wild representatives hold valuable genetic resources for breeders are facing the effects of climate change in Central Asia like all of wild plant species. Therefore, the effects of
