Spatial prioritization of selected mining pitlakes from Eastern Coalfields region, India: A species distribution modelling approach

Conservation Science and Practice, 2020
Pitlake conservation is still a naive idea in a developing country. Species distribution modelling approaches can prove to be a useful tool in protecting biodiversity.

Silvicolous on a small scale: possibilities and limitations of habitat suitability models for small, elusive mammals in conservation management and landscape planning.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Species distribution and endangerment can be assessed by habitat-suitability modelling. This study addresses methodical aspects of habitat suitability modelling and includes an application example in actual species conservation and landscape planning ...

Developing a quantitative indicator to monitor cetacean distributional change

Ecological Indicators
Monitoring the distribution of cetaceans is a priority in marine conservation. However, current ecosystem-wide assessments lack indicators on distribution: cetacean distribution maps fall short of quantitative reporting purposes.

Uncertainty in ensembles of global biodiversity scenarios

Nature Communications, 2019
Attaining global biodiversity projections requires the use of various species distribution and climate modelling and scenario approaches. Here the authors report that model choice can significantly impact results, with particularly uncertainty arising ...

A perspective on the need for integrated frameworks linking species distribution and dynamic forest landscape models across spatial scales

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Climate change significantly alters species distributions. Numerous studies project the future distribution of species using Species Distribution models (SDMs), most often using coarse resolutions. Working at coarse resolutions in forest ecosystems fails
