Incorporating microclimate into species distribution models

Ecography, 2018
Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to challenges for species management.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Climate Change Impacts on the Distribution of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipski) in the Hyrcanian Forests of Iran [PDF]

مجله جنگل ایران, 2018
Due to global climate change, climate change in Iran is inevitable and the results of the climate studies clearly show that the Hyrcanian climate has been warmer over the past 50 years.

How can model comparison help improving species distribution models? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Today, more than ever, robust projections of potential species range shifts are needed to anticipate and mitigate the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Such projections are so far provided almost exclusively by correlative

Extracting predictive models from marked-p free-text documents at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper we explore the combination of text-mining, un-supervised and supervised learning to extract predictive models from a corpus of digitised historical floras.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Sat-SINR: High-Resolution Species Distribution Models Through Satellite Imagery [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
We propose a deep learning approach for high-resolution species distribution modelling (SDM) at large scale combining point-wise, crowd-sourced species observation data and environmental data with Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.

Do stacked species distribution models reflect altitudinal diversity patterns? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of stacked species distribution models in predicting the alpha and gamma species diversity patterns of two important plant clades along elevation in the Andes.

Comparison of habitat-based indices of abundance with fishery-independent biomass estimates from bottom trawl surveys [PDF]

, 2012
Rockfish species are notoriously difficult to sample with multispecies bottom trawl survey methods. Typically, biomass estimates have high coefficients of variation and can fluctuate outside the bounds of biological reality from year to year.

Predicting tree distributions in an East African biodiversity hotspot : model selection, data bias and envelope uncertainty [PDF]

, 2008
The Eastern Arc Mountains (EAMs) of Tanzania and Kenya support some of the most ancient tropical rainforest on Earth. The forests are a global priority for biodiversity conservation and provide vital resources to the Tanzanian population. Here, we make a
