Predicting 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 کاملExperiences from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: ecological findings and conservation initiatives.
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest hosts one of the world's most diverse and threatened tropical forest biota. In many ways, its history of degradation describes the fate experienced by tropical forests around the world. After five centuries of human expansion, most Atlantic Forest landscapes are archipelagos of small forest fragments surrounded by open-habitat matrices. This 'natural laboratory' ha...
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 کاملUsing kernels and ecological niche modeling to delineate conservation areas in an endangered patch-breeding phenotype.
Efficient delineation of conservation areas is a great challenge in maintaining biodiversity. Kernel density estimators (KDEs) are a powerful tool in this perspective, but they have not been applied at the population level on patch-distributed organisms. This would be particularly worthy for species that need broad habitats beyond those where they can be sampled; such as terrestrial lands for p...
متن کاملVerrucomicrobia in Brazilian Atlantic forest soil.
The Brazilian Atlantic forest is one of the main biodiversity hot spots in the world (4). This biome stretches along the Brazilian Atlantic coast, from the state of Rio Grande do Norte to Rio Grande do Sul, with an original area of 1,233,875 km that has been reduced to less than 8% of its original cover (Fig. 1). Also included in this hot spot is the offshore archipelago of Fernando de Noronha ...
