Caveats for correlative species distribution modeling

Ecological Informatics, 2015
Abstract Correlative species distribution models are becoming commonplace in the scientific literature and public outreach products, displaying locations, abundance, or suitable environmental conditions for harmful invasive species, threatened and endangered species, or species of special concern.

The use of an integrated framework combining eco-evolutionary data and species distribution models to predict range shifts of species under changing climates

MethodsX
Species distribution models (SDMs) are powerful tools that can predict potential distributions of species under climate change. However, traditional SDMs that rely on current species occurrences may underestimate their climatic tolerances and potential ...

Uncertainty analysis of species distribution models

PLOS ONE, 2019
The maximum entropy model, a commonly used species distribution model (SDM) normally combines observations of the species occurrence with environmental information to predict the geographic distributions of animal or plant species. However, it only produces point estimates for the probability of species existence.

Species Richness of Papilionidae Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in the Hengduan Mountains and Its Future Shifts under Climate Change

Insects, 2023
The family of Papilionidae (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) is a group of butterflies with high ecological and conservation value. The Hengduan Mountains (HMDs) in Southwest China is an important diversity centre for these butterflies.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Ecological status and spatial extent of non-native shrubs Lantana camara L. and Ageratina adenophora Sprengel in the forest communities of western Himalaya

Trees, Forests and People
This research elucidates the ecological status and spatial extent of two non-native invasive species, Lantana camara L. and Ageratina adenophorum Sprengel, within dominant forest communities across an altitude gradient in the western Himalayan region ...

A Robust Prediction Model for Species Distribution Using Bagging Ensembles with Deep Neural Networks

Remote Sensing, 2021
Species distribution models have been used for various purposes, such as conserving species, discovering potential habitats, and obtaining evolutionary insights by predicting species occurrence. Many statistical and machine-learning-based approaches have

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Cascading predictions from common to uncommon species improves species distribution models for plants

Ecological Informatics
Species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally rely on abiotic factors like climate and topography to predict plant species distributions. While effective at broad scales, these models often fail at finer spatial resolutions due to their inability to ...
