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.

An updated understanding of Texas bumble bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) species presence and potential distributions in Texas, USA [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Texas is the second largest state in the United States of America, and the largest state in the contiguous USA at nearly 700,000 sq. km. Several Texas bumble bee species have shown evidence of declines in portions of their continental ranges, and ...

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

Modeling the effect of climate change to the potential invasion range of Piper aduncum Linnaeus [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2018 The potential effect of invasive plant species on biodiversity is one of most important subject of inquiry at present. In many parts of the world, the alarming spread of these plants has been documented.

Impacts of Species Misidentification on Species Distribution Modeling with Presence-Only Data
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2015 Spatial records of species are commonly misidentified, which can change the predicted distribution of a species obtained from a species distribution model (SDM).
