Advances and Limitations of Disease Biogeography Using Ecological Niche Modeling
Mapping disease transmission risk is crucial in public and animal health for evidence based decision-making. Ecology and epidemiology are highly related disciplines that may contribute to improvements in mapping disease, which can be used to answer health related questions. Ecological niche modeling is increasingly used for understanding the biogeography of diseases in plants, animals, and huma...
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...
متن کاملPredicting the Climatic Ecological Niche of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Central Iran using Species Distribution Modeling
Changes in the geographical distribution of plants are one of the major impacts of the climate change. This study was aimed to predict the potential changes in the distribution of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Isfahan rangelands. Therefore, six bioclimatic variables and two physiographic variables were used under the Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Flexible Denotative Analysis (FDA), Surface Range...
متن کاملThe Predictive Power of Ecological Niche Modeling for Global Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Biogeography
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are globally distributed, obligate, belowground symbionts that associate with up to 80% of all plant species (Smith and Read 2008; Kivlin et al. 2011; Öpik et al. 2013; Davison et al. 2015; Soudzilovskaia et al. 2015a). Typically, AM fungi improve host plant growth by providing soil nutrients (Smith and Read 2008), water (Augé 2001), and pathogen protection (Si...
متن کاملIntegrating Fundamental Concepts of Ecology, Biogeography, and Sampling into Effective Ecological Niche Modeling and Species Distribution Modeling
Correlative techniques for estimating environmental requirements of species— variably termed ecological niche modeling or species distribution modeling—are becoming very popular tools for ecologists and biogeographers in understanding diverse aspects of biodiversity. These tools, however, are frequently applied in ways that do not fit well into knowledge frameworks in population ecology and bio...
