Fate and Impacts of Contaminants of Emerging Concern during Wastewater Treatment
… genes (ARGs) and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) as representative contaminants of emerging concern in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). WWTPs may have their performance impacted by ENMs and may also serve as a reservoir and point of release for both ENMs and ARGs into the environment. Of …

"MODEL COMPLEXITY AND VARIABLE SELECTION IN MAXENT NICHE MODELS: ANALYSES FOR RODENTS IN MADAGASCAR"
<p>Ecological niche models (ENMs) characterize the relationship between localities where a species is known to occur and the abiotic characteristics of these regions. While widely used, ENMs remain subject to several outstanding issues, including those related to model complexity and violation of …

Methodological advancements for improving performance and generating ensemble ecological niche models
… to sampling bias in ecological niche models (ENMs). Sampling bias in geographic space leads to localities that may also be biased in environmental space. If so, the model can overfit to those biases. As a preliminary test addressing this issue, we used Maxent, bioclimatic variables, and …
