Delineating generalized species boundaries from species distribution data and a species distribution model [PDF]
Species distribution models (SDM) are commonly used to provide information about species ranges or extents, and often are intended to represent the entire area of potential occupancy or suitable habitat in which individuals occur. While SDMs can provide results over various geographic extents, they normally operate within a grid and cannot delimit ...

Machine Learning and Its Applications in Studying the Geographical Distribution of Ants
Traditional species distribution modelling relies on the links between species and their environments, but often such information is unavailable or unreliable.

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.

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 ...

Modelling the spatial distribution of three marine fish species in the southern Benguela [PDF]
Understanding the spatial distribution of species in relationship to climatic and environmental variables is key to conservation and management of important species, as their distribution might change under climate change and variability.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The influence of spatial errors in species occurrence data on distribution models
1. Species distribution modelling is used increasingly in both applied and theoretical research to predict how species are distributed and to understand attributes of species' environmental requirements.
