چکیده

We present a model for estimating a probabilistic map of ecological habitats using species presence/absence data and environmental covariate data observed at the sites where species presence data were collected. The model is notable because it treats spatially varying patterns of species distributions as the principle defining characteristic of habitats. The model also permits inference about the relationship between the environmental covariates and habitats.

Modeling the potential habitat of Ferula ovina (Boiss) using Generalized Linear Model in Semi-Steppe rangelands of Western Isfahan

This study was aimed to predict the potential distribution of Ferula ovina (Boiss) in Feridoonshar, in the western part of Isfahan province, and to produce species response curves in relation to the environmental variables using the Generalized Linear Model (GLM). The presence and absence of the species in 278 sites (including 138 presence sites & 140 absence sites) were collected using random ...

Estimating the habitat suitability of the genus Alosa in the Caspian Sea using the PATREC method and presence data

In many habitat evaluation methods, the abundance data are used. Such data are not available for many species. However, there is some website that provides the presence data of species that are based on the studies made. The present study used the PATREC method to estimate the habitat suitability of the Caspian Sea for the genus Alosa. The PATREC method needs abundance data to calculate the pri...

The Survey of the ecological characteristics of the species and determining their habitat suitability is one of the main principles of management and conservation of wildlife species. Hence, we need methods that can help assess habitats and can estimate, over time, reduce of their quality. To understand the effects of human activities and the changes of a habitat, it is necessary to make quanti...
