Aim Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are correlative models that predict the occurrence or abundance of species in relation to predictor variables. SDMs have become an important part resource management and conservation biology yet they rarely incorporate species’ demography into their predictions. To explore possible influence biotic relationships explaining patterns distribution, explanator...

Parthenium weed is an invasive species of economic importance worldwide. Native to the American tropics, infestation ability a new habitat largely influenced by environmental factors. Despite invasion in Malaysia dated back 2013, investigation on its ecological behavior still lacking. Hence, extensive studies two predominant Malaysian populations were executed. In Petri dish seed bioassay, germ...

A major challenges facing landscape geneticists studying adaptive variation is to include all the environmental variables that might be correlated with allele frequencies across the genome. One way of identifying loci that are possibly under selection is to see which ones are associated with environmental gradient or heterogeneity. Since it is difficult to measure all environmental variables, o...

BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been growing interest in theoretical studies integrating cognitions and environmental variables in the prediction of behaviour related to the obesity epidemic. This is the approach adopted in the present study in reference to the theory of planned behaviour. More precisely, the aim of this study was to determine the contribution of cognitive and environment...
