Can mechanism inform species' distribution models?
Two major approaches address the need to predict species distributions in response to environmental changes. Correlative models estimate parameters phenomenologically by relating current distributions to environmental conditions. By contrast, mechanistic models incorporate explicit relationships between environmental conditions and organismal performance, estimated independently of current dist...
متن کاملHow Can Model Comparison Help Improving Species Distribution Models?
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 species distribution models (correlative SDMs). However, concerns regarding the reliability of their predictive power are growing and several ...
متن کاملCan Animal Models of Disease Reliably Inform Human Studies?
H. Bart van der Worp and colleagues discuss the controversies and possibilities of translating the results of animal experiments into human clinical trials.
متن کاملHow Cognitive Models Can Inform the Design of Instructions
Instructions represented as lists of steps lead to inflexible and brittle behavior in cognitive models, suggesting that list-style instructions lead to poor learning in people as well. On the basis of this assumption we designed an alternative operatorstyle instruction that produces better learning in models. In an experiment and model of interacting with a simulated Flight Management System, a...
متن کاملCan species distribution models really predict the expansion of invasive species?
Predictive studies are of paramount importance for biological invasions, one of the biggest threats for biodiversity. To help and better prioritize management strategies, species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to predict the potential invasive range of introduced species. Yet, SDMs have been regularly criticized, due to several strong limitations, such as violating the equilibrium as...
