Spatial Joint Species Distribution Modeling using Dirichlet Processes

open access: yesStatistica Sinica, 2017
Species distribution models usually attempt to explain presence-absence or abundance of a species at a site in terms of the environmental features (socalled abiotic features) present at the site. Historically, such models have considered species individually.

Human activities and climate change are the main factors of amphibian extinction

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Human activities and climate change directly influencing species distribution and species richness leading to approximately 41 % of the ∼ 8009 Amphibian species being threatened with extinction.

On the generalization of the GMS evolutionary model

open access: yes, 2011
We study a generalization of the evolution model proposed by Guiol, Machado and Schinazi (arXiv:0909.2108). In our model, at each moment of time a random number of species is either born or removed from the system; the species to be removed are those ...

Self-organizing patterns maintained by competing associations in a six-species predator-prey model

open access: yes, 2008
Formation and competition of associations are studied in a six-species ecological model where each species has two predators and two prey. Each site of a square lattice is occupied by an individual belonging to one of the six species.

Pseudoabsence Generation Strategies for Species Distribution Models

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Species distribution models require selection of species, study extent and spatial unit, statistical methods, variables, and assessment metrics. If absence data are not available, another important consideration is pseudoabsence generation. Different strategies for pseudoabsence generation can produce varying spatial representation of species.We ...

Using species distribution modelling to identify potential translocation areas for the western chimpanzee under climate change scenarios in Ghana

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
The Earth’s climate is undergoing drastic changes leading to significant global biodiversity declines. Conservation translocation offers a potential solution for managing or restoring biodiversity threatened by local extinctions due to climate change and

Linearity and Scaling of a Statistical Model for the Species Abundance Distribution

open access: yes, 2001
We derive a linear recursion relation for the species abundance distribution in a statistical model of ecology and demonstrate the existence of a scaling ...

Macro-evolutionary models and coalescent point processes: The shape and probability of reconstructed phylogenies

open access: yes, 2013
Forward-time models of diversification (i.e., speciation and extinction) produce phylogenetic trees that grow "vertically" as time goes by. Pruning the extinct lineages out of such trees leads to natural models for reconstructed trees (i.e., phylogenies ...

Inferring the similarity of species distributions using Species’ Distribution Models

open access: yesEcography, 2013
A common problem in ecology is our need to reliably compare information on the distributions of distinct species. Since it is not always possible to directly compare the distributions of two species, numerous papers now seek to compare the predictions of Species’ Distribution Models (SDMs, estimates of the probability that two species are present ...
