Species distribution modeling is an essential tool for understanding the ecology of species and has many applications in conservation. Using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) modeling, we identify key factors shaping potential endangered Javan Gibbons Hylobates moloch one main remnant habitats, Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (GHSNP), Indonesia, using presence-only data collected between October Nove...

We demonstrate the KGSMapper (Kansas Geological Survey Mapper), a straightforward, web-based biogeographic tool that uses environmental conditions of places where members of a taxon are known to occur to find other places containing suitable habitat for them. Using occurrence data for anemonefishes or their host sea anemones, and data for environmental parameters, we generated maps of suitable ...

1.Predicting the current and potential distributions of established invasive species is critical for evaluating management options, but methods for differentiating these distributions have received little attention. In particular, there is uncertainty among invasive species managers about the value of information from incidental sightings compared to data from designed field surveys. This study...

Aim Citizen science is a cost-effective potential source of invasive species occurrence data. However, data quality issues due to unstructured sampling approaches may discourage the use these observations by and conservation professionals. This study explored utility low-structure iNaturalist citizen in plant monitoring. We first examined prevalence taxa biases associated with Using four as exa...

Understanding species response to climate change is essential for the conservation and utilization of resources under rapid in future. In this study, present future suitable distribution range Keteleeria davidiana, a tertiary relict gymnosperm, was predicted based on maximum entropy model (MaxEnt). A total 158 occurrence records were collected after removing duplicated records. Six low-correlat...

Under future climate change, modification of temperature and salinity are expected to result in distribution shifts marine organisms, including commercial fish shellfish. Changes anticipated everywhere, the seas many important fishing nations. Species turnover will turn both opportunities threats industries. To determine impacts for northwest European shelf fisheries, we project changes 49 comm...

The Maple-leaf oak, Quercus acerifolia (E.J.Palmer) Stoynoff & Hess, is listed as Critically Imperiled by the State of Arkansas and considered endangered in IUCN Red List Threatened Oak Species. It endemic to interior highlands Ouachita Mountains west-central Arkansas, where it reported occur only four isolated locations. No specific research exists regarding predicted climate change impact...
