Conservation planning analyses often employ data on biodiversity and sometimes vulnerability and these data are generally assumed to be accurate and correct. Here, different ways of exploring uncertainty associated with typical input data used for conservation planning are illustrated. First the uncertainty associated with predicted species distribution data is measured, summarised, and visuali...

Habitat suitability models are useful to understand species distribution and to guide management and conservation strategies. The grey wolf (Canis lupus) has been extirpated from most of its historic range in Pakistan primarily due to its impact on livestock and livelihoods. We used non-invasive survey data from camera traps and genetic sampling to develop a habitat suitability model for C. lup...

In this article, one-phase and three dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis was utilized to investigate the effect of annular field pattern of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with different geometry on the performances and species distribution. This computational fluid dynamics code is used for solving the equation in single domain namely the flow field, the mass conserva...

An understanding of the distribution range and status a species is paramount for its conservation. We used photo captures from 26,838 camera traps deployed over 121,337 km 2 along with data radio-telemetry, published, authenticated wolf sightings to infer locations. A total 3,324 presence locations were obtained after accounting spatial redundancy 574 modeling in maximum entropy framework (MaxE...

The North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) provides a facilitative body for Canada, Mexico, and the United States to address common environmental concerns and promote biodiversity conservation. The CEC is implementing a North American Marine Protected Areas Network (NAMPAN) with a wide array of partners in governmental and nongovernmental sectors in order to protect marin...
