Numerical solution of nonlinear SPDEs using a multi-scale method
In this paper we establish a new numerical method for solving a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) based on B-splines wavelets. The method combines implicit collocation with the multi-scale method. Using the multi-scale method, SPDEs can be solved on a given subdomain with more accuracy and lower computational cost than the rest of the domain. The stability and c...
متن کاملAssessing Ecoregional-Scale Habitat Suitability Index Models for Priority Landbirds
Emerging methods in habitat and wildlife population modeling promise new horizons in conservation but only if these methods provide robust population–habitat linkages. We used Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data to verify and validate newly developed habitat suitability index (HSI) models for 40 priority landbird species in the Central Hardwoods and West Gulf Coastal Plain/Ouachitas Bird Conservati...
متن کاملAssessing habitat-suitability models with a virtual species
This paper compares two habitat-suitability assessing methods, the Ecological Niche Factor Analysis (ENFA) and the Generalised Linear Model (GLM), to see how well they cope with three different scenarios. The main difference between these two analyses is that GLM is based on species presence/absence data while ENFA on presence data only. A virtual species was created and then dispatched in a ge...
متن کاملPredicting Species Distributions Using Record Centre Data: Multi-Scale Modelling of Habitat Suitability for Bat Roosts
Conservation increasingly operates at the landscape scale. For this to be effective, we need landscape scale information on species distributions and the environmental factors that underpin them. Species records are becoming increasingly available via data centres and online portals, but they are often patchy and biased. We demonstrate how such data can yield useful habitat suitability models, ...
متن کاملRarefaction method for assessing plant species diversity on a regional scale
In national conservation plans, it is necessary to comparatively assess species pools of different regions and monitor their changes over time. Two specific problems arise: i) species diversity must be standardized per area, because regions differ in size, and ii) the diversity measure should take into account how common or rare the species are on the regional scale. We used the rarefaction met...
