Habitat suitability and herbivore dynamics

Relationship between Hydromorphological and Ecohydraulic Characteristics Flow Regime to Habitat Suitability Capoeta gracilis (Keyserling, 1861): Understanding Habitat–Population Dynamics Fishes and Ecological Flow Scenarios of Zarrin-Gol River

 Investigation of ecological, hydrological status and habitat Suitability of river is one of the key elements in river ecosystem management. In this regard, in the present study, in order to evaluate the ecological sustainable conditions in Zarrin-Gol River of Golestan Province, during stepwise calculations, echo-hydraulic and hydromorphocological analysis of the habitat of Capoeta gracilis (Ke...

Uncertainty in Various Habitat Suitability Models and Its Impact on Habitat Suitability Estimates for Fish

Species distribution models (SDMs) are extensively used to project habitat suitability of species in stream ecological studies. Owing to complex sources of uncertainty, such models may yield projections with varying degrees of uncertainty. To better understand projected spatial distributions and the variability between habitat suitability projections, this study uses five SDMs that are based on...

Habitat suitability modelling and niche theory

1. The concept of the ecological niche relates a set of environmental variables to the fitness of species, while habitat suitability models (HSMs) relate environmental variables to the likelihood of occurrence of the species. In spite of this relationship, the concepts are weakly linked in the literature, and there is a strong need for better integration. 2. We selectively reviewed the literatu...
