Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) portrays the relationship between the actual geographical distribution of a species and the environmental factors that induced this distribution.

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]
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 ...

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

Species lifetime distribution for simple models of ecologies [PDF]
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.

Spatiotemporal joint species distribution modelling: A basis function approach
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 ...

Bounding species distribution models [PDF]
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

Projected habitat loss and persistence of Heortia vitessoides (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) in China Under CMIP6 Climate Models [PDF]
Heortia vitessoides Moore is a destructive pest of Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Spreng, a significant economic crop. To understand the current and future geographical range change of this pest, we employed the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) to assess the ...

Background The ticks Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus are two of the most important vectors in Europe. Climate niche modelling has been used in many studies to attempt to explain their distribution and to predict changes under a range of ...

Predictive habitat modelling as a tool to assess the change in distribution and extent of an OSPAR priority habitat under an increased ocean temperature scenario:consequences for marine protected area networks and management [PDF]
The aims of this study were to determine the extent and distribution of an OSPAR priority habitat under current baseline ocean temperatures; to illustrate the prospect for habitat loss under a changing ocean temperature scenario; and to demonstrate the ...
