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 کاملPseudoabsence Generation Strategies for Species Distribution Models
BACKGROUND Species distribution models require selection of species, study extent and spatial unit, statistical methods, variables, and assessment metrics. If absence data are not available, another important consideration is pseudoabsence generation. Different strategies for pseudoabsence generation can produce varying spatial representation of species. METHODOLOGY We considered model outcom...
متن کاملSpatio-Phylogenetic Multi-Species Distribution Models
1 Ecologists increasingly consider phylogenetic relatedness in both 2 community composition and spatial arrangements in communities. 3 Here we considered both the phylogenetic correlation between mul4 tiple species and the spatial correlation induced by unobserved spa5 tial heterogeneity on multiple plots. For this analysis, we introduced 6 phylogenetic spatial generalised linear mixed models (...
متن کاملReserve selection using nonlinear species distribution models.
Reserve design is concerned with optimal selection of sites for new conservation areas. Spatial reserve design explicitly considers the spatial pattern of the proposed reserve network and the effects of that pattern on reserve cost and/or ability to maintain species there. The vast majority of reserve selection formulations have assumed a linear problem structure, which effectively means that t...
متن کاملSpecies Abundances Distribution in Neutral Community Models
An analytical approximation is derived for the Zero Sum Multinomial distribution which gives the Species Abundance Distribution in Neutral Community Models. The obtained distribution function describes well computer simulation results on the model, and leads to an interesting relation between the total number of individuals, total number of species and the size of the most abundant species of t...
