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

Delineating generalized species boundaries from species distribution data and a species distribution model [PDF]
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2013 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 ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Using genetic data to improve species distribution models [PDF]
, 2018 Tsetse flies (Diptera, Glossinidae) transmit human and animal trypanosomoses in Africa, respectively a neglected human disease (sleeping sickness) and the most important constraint to cattle production in infested countries (nagana).

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.

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.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Sat-SINR: High-Resolution Species Distribution Models Through Satellite Imagery [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesWe 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.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
