Interpreting predictive maps of disease: highlighting the pitfalls of distribution models in epidemiology

open access: yesGeospatial Health, 2014
The application of spatial modelling to epidemiology has increased significantly over the past decade, delivering enhanced understanding of the environmental and climatic factors affecting disease distributions and providing spatially continuous ...

Quantifying the distribution and potential biotic interactions between deer and flora using species distribution modelling

open access: yesAnnals of GIS, 2023
Invasive species are ranked as one of the leading drivers of global biodiversity loss. To mitigate their impact, we must understand the future risks caused by invasive species, particularly to flora of conservation concern.

Hierarchical Species Distribution Models [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports, 2016
Determining the distribution pattern of a species is important to increase scientific knowledge, inform management decisions, and conserve biodiversity. To infer spatial and temporal patterns, species distribution models have been developed for use with many sampling designs and types of data.

Machine Learning and Its Applications in Studying the Geographical Distribution of Ants

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Traditional species distribution modelling relies on the links between species and their environments, but often such information is unavailable or unreliable.

Local ecological niche modelling to provide suitability maps for 27 forest tree species in edge conditions

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) portrays the relationship between the actual geographical distribution of a species and the environmental factors that induced this distribution.

How climate change will change the potential distribution of two wood-decaying fungi? [PDF]

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2023
Changes in climate, which can be understood as fluctuations in climate patterns as a reflection of natural or anthropic interventions, can generate changes in the environment and consequently affect the diversity of organisms.

Spatiotemporal joint species distribution modelling: A basis function approach

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
We introduce community‐level basis function models (CBFMs) as an approach for spatiotemporal joint distribution modelling. CBFMs can be viewed as related to spatiotemporal latent variable models, where the latent variables are replaced by a set of pre ...

Predicting extinctions with species distribution models

open access: yesCambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Abstract Predictions of species-level extinction risk from climate change are mostly based on species distribution models (SDMs). Reviewing the literature, we summarise why the translation of SDM results to extinction risk is conceptually and methodologically challenged and why critical SDM assumptions are unlikely to be met under ...

Making species distribution models available on the Web for reuse in biodiversity experiments: Euterpe edulis species case study / Modelos de distribuição de espécies disponíveis na Web para reutilização em experimentos de biodiversidade: Estudo de caso com a espécie Euterpe edulis [PDF]

open access: yesSociedade & Natureza, 2009
Currently, biodiversity conservation is one of the most urgent and important themes. Biodiversityresearchers use species distribution models to make inferences about species occurrences and locations.These models are fundamental for fauna and flora ...

Distribution modelling and climate change risk assessment strategy for rare Himalayan Galliformes species using archetypal data abundant cohorts for adaptation planning

open access: yesClimate Risk Management, 2021
In a macroecological approach, we have used the data abundant species or archetypal cohorts as proxies for the data deficient species, to model their distributions.
