Drivers of Spatial Distributions of Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) in the Southwest Pacific
Basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) were widely reported throughout New Zealand waters. Once commonly observed, and sometimes in large numbers, basking sharks are now infrequently reported.

Habitat suitability models and carrying capacity estimations for rock ptarmigans in a protected area of the Italian Alps [PDF]
Rock ptarmigan populations in the Alps are suffering an overall decline, and management actions are needed to ensure their conservation. Yet wildlife management and conservation actions are often the consequences of political decisions taken by subjects ...

An extensive comparison of species-abundance distribution models [PDF]
A number of different models have been proposed as descriptions of the species-abundance distribution (SAD). Most evaluations of these models use only one or two models, focus on only a single ecosystem or taxonomic group, or fail to use appropriate ...

Predicting the Impact of Climate Change on Threatened Species in UK Waters [PDF]
Global climate change is affecting the distribution of marine species and is thought to represent a threat to biodiversity. Previous studies project expansion of species range for some species and local extinction elsewhere under climate change.

Development and Delivery of Species Distribution Models to Inform Decision-Making
Information on where species occur is an important component of conservation and management decisions, but knowledge of distributions is often coarse or incomplete. Species distribution models provide a tool for mapping habitat and can produce credible,

Biodiversity in model ecosystems, I: Coexistence conditions for competing species [PDF]
This is the first of two papers where we discuss the limits imposed by competition to the biodiversity of species communities. In this first paper we study the coexistence of competing species at the fixed point of population dynamic equations.
