An evaluation of methods for modelling species distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Models exploring the relationships between species’ occurrences and sets of predictor variables produce two kinds of useful outputs. The first are estimates of the probability that species might occur at given unrecorded locations. The second are estimates of an area’s suitability for species. The use of empirical models of occurrence in conservation planning has Unidade de Macroecologia e Conservação, Universidade de Évora, Estrada dos Leões Évora, Portugal and Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive, CNRS 1919 Route Mende 34293 Montpellier Cedex 5, France

Modelling of the spatial distribution of the rare plant Lilium ledebourii
The aim of this study was modelling the spatial distribution ofLilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. based on ecological characteristics, in order to predict potential habitats for conservation of a rare plant. Knowledge of the spatial distributions of rare and threatened species and the underlying ecological factors plays an important role in regional conservation assessments and development planni...
متن کاملComparing Discriminant Analysis, Ecological Niche Factor Analysis and Logistic Regression Methods for Geographic Distribution Modelling of Eurotia ceratoides (L.) C. A. Mey
Eurotia ceratoides (L.) C. A. Mey is an important plant species in semi-arid landsin Iran. New approaches are required to determine the distribution of this plant species. Forthis reason, geographical distributions of Eurotia ceratoides were assessed using threedifferent models including: Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDA), Ecological Niche FactorAnalysis (ENFA) and Logistic Regression (LR). ...
متن کاملModeling Current and Future Potential Distributions of Caspian Pond Turtle (Mauremys caspica) under Climate Change Scenarios
Although turtles are the most threatened taxonomic group within the reptile class, we have a very limited understanding of how turtles respond to climate change. Here, we evaluated the effects of climate changes on the geographical distribution of Caspian pond turtle (Mauremys caspica). We used an ensemble approach by combining six species distribution models including artificial neural network...

Identification of climatic characteristics affecting the annual yield of Rheum Ribes can be useful in management and development of this species in the rangelands. In this research, the annual yield of this species in Khorasan-Razavi province based on 74 climatic parameters during a ten-year period evaluated and affecting climatic parameters extracted using data mining methods. First, the role ...
متن کاملSpecies distribution modelling of invasive alien species; Pterois miles for current distribution and future suitable habitats
The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...
