Modelling biodiversity scenarios in madagascar under both the effects of climate change and anthropogenic deforestation [PDF]
Madagascar is widely known for its exceptional biodiversity which is, for the terrestrial part, mainly concentrated in tropical forests. This biodiversity is severely threatened by both climate change and deforestation.

Species Abundance Patterns in Complex Evolutionary Dynamics
An analytic theory of species abundance patterns (SAPs) in biological networks is presented. The theory is based on multispecies replicator dynamics equivalent to the Lotka-Volterra equation, with diverse interspecies interactions.

Evaluating multispecies survey designs using a joint species distribution model
Survey designs should be efficient as marine survey programs are usually expensive and time-consuming; however, surveys have rarely been evaluated for multiple species.

On a link between a species survival time in an evolution model and the Bessel distributions
We consider a stochastic model for species evolution. A new species is born at rate lambda and a species dies at rate mu. A random number, sampled from a given distribution F, is associated with each new species at the time of birth.

Expansion rate & dispersal pattern of the non-native Roesel’s bush-cricket in Sweden [PDF]
Environmental change and anthropogenic activities influence species distributions. Species introductions have become increasingly common in an era of globalization and increased international trade and travel.

Evolving Networks with Multi-species Nodes and Spread in the Number of Initial Links
We consider models for growing networks incorporating two effects not previously considered: (i) different species of nodes, with each species having different properties (such as different attachment probabilities to other node species); and (ii) when a

Guiding conservation strategies for China’s Corybas species through species distribution modeling
Corybas Salisb. is a widespread plant genus in the family Orchidaceae, known for its small, beautiful flowers. Most species in this genus are narrow endemics.

Diverging fluctuations in a spatial five-species cyclic dominance game
A five-species predator-prey model is studied on a square lattice where each species has two prey and two predators on the analogy to the Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock game.

A Species Sampling Model with Finitely many Types
A two-parameter family of exchangeable partitions with a simple updating rule is introduced. The partition is identified with a randomized version of a standard symmetric Dirichlet species-sampling model with finitely many types.

A stochastic model of evolution
We propose a stochastic model for evolution. Births and deaths of species occur with constant probabilities. Each new species is associated with a fitness sampled from the uniform distribution on [0,1].
