Species distribution models (SDMs) are extensively used to project habitat suitability of species in stream ecological studies. Owing to complex sources of uncertainty, such models may yield projections with varying degrees of uncertainty. To better understand projected spatial distributions and the variability between habitat suitability projections, this study uses five SDMs that are based on...

a study was conducted to determine habitat suitability of goitred gazelle (gazella subgutturosa) in kalmand-bahadoran protected area during four seasons of year 2003-2004.the geographic position of dispersal points of gazelle herds was recorded with global position system. the data were transmitted into attributed tables in arc view software and their layers were created. the maps of slope, alt...

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...

Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) is an important structural pest reported from Asia, Pacific islands, North America, Caribbean islands, South America, and Indian Ocean islands. This study summarized previous records of C. gestroi and its synonyms, presenting 184 infested counties from 24 countries. Based on the geo-references occurrence locations and global raster data of climate, geography, and h...

Habitat Suitability (HS) models have been extensively used by conservation planners to estimate the spatial distribution of threatened species and of species of commercial interest. In this work we compare three HS models for the estimation of commercial yield potential and the identification of suitable sites for Tapes philippinarum rearing in the Sacca di Goro lagoon (Italy) on the basis of s...

Habitat suitability (HS) modeling relates a species’ potential presence/absence to a set of environmental variables. because of stochastic or demographic population fluctuations, relating abundance to environment is difficult and generally requires time-series of population-density data. Here, I propose an approach to compute relative capacity of a set of habitat classes. I defined relative cap...

kolah ghazi national park is one of the most important habitats for wild goat in iran with a population of around 2000 heads. in order to model the habitat for this species, a presence only layer was used as input to enfa method in biomapper software. ecogeographic factors were also used as independent variables including plant community, distribution of predators, geomorphologic features, main...

Regional scale habitat suitability models provide finer scale resolution and more focused predictions of where organisms may occur. Previous modelling approaches have focused primarily on local and/or global scales, while regional scale models have been relatively few. In this study, regional scale predictive habitat models are presented for deep-sea corals for the U.S. West Coast (California, ...
