Geospatial web services within a scientific workflow: Predicting marine mammal habitats in a dynamic environment
Article history: Received 29 December 2006 Received in revised form 20 June 2007 Accepted 30 July 2007 Our ability to informconservation andmanagement of species is fundamentally limited by the availability of relevant biogeographic data, use of statistically robust predictive models, and presentation of results to decision makers. Despite the ubiquity of presence-only models, where available, ...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Gap Analysis of OBIS-SEAMAP Project Data: Assessment and Way Forward
The OBIS-SEAMAP project has acquired and served high-quality marine mammal, seabird, and sea turtle data to the public since its inception in 2002. As data accumulated, spatial and temporal biases resulted and a comprehensive gap analysis was needed in order to assess coverage to direct data acquisition for the OBIS-SEAMAP project and for taxa researchers should true gaps in knowledge exist. Al...
متن کاملInforming Species Conservation at Multiple Scales Using Data Collected for Marine Mammal Stock Assessments
BACKGROUND Conservation planning and the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) requires spatially explicit information on the distribution of ecological features. Most species of marine mammals range over large areas and across multiple planning regions. The spatial distributions of marine mammals are difficult to predict using habitat modelling at ecological scales because of insufficient un...
متن کاملSatellite telemetry of marine megavertebrates: the coming of age of an experimental science
Wildlife telemetry research has expanded greatly in the last 2 decades, with the application of satellite tracking and archival logging technologies to study the ecology and conservation of marine mammals, birds, fishes, and turtles. Widespread and expanding use of satellite tracking to study movements and habitats of marine megavertebrates warrants a review of progress to date and a discussion...
متن کاملUsing ecological niche modeling to determine avian richness hotspots
Understanding distributions of wildlife species is a key step towards identifying biodiversity hotspots and designing effective conservation strategies. In this paper, the spatial pattern of diversity of birds in Golestan Province, Iran was estimated. Ecological niche modeling was used to determine distributions of 144 bird species across the province using a maximum entropy algorithm. Richness...
