Potential impacts of climate change on myosorex as a model for extinction risk of montane small mammals in South Africa
… Province by using morphological analysis. Ecological niche modelling using Maxent was applied to predict current and future distribution of these species. Eight bioclimatic variables for current and future projected scenarios together with occurrence data from South African Museums, new …

Elephant endurance in Aceh: the effects of habitat disturbance and land cover change on the conservation of Sumatran elephants in Aceh, Indonesia
… elephant habitat use was assessed by means of ecological niche modelling. The Sumatra-wide impact of deforestation on elephant population survival was analyzed by comparing the historic distribution of elephants to their current distribution. The observed incidences of population extinctions …

Identifying drivers of Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres) space use in southern Africa
… I present the first approximation of the spatial niche of Cape vultures using ecological niche modelling methods and provide a first assessment of the potential impacts of climate change on their future occurrence. Immature individuals and two of the reintroduced vultures traversed extensive …

Systematics of the Philippine endemic Ixora L. (Rubiaceae, Ixoreae)
… most parts of the country due to climate change. Ecological niche modelling was carried out for the two species with most occurrence records, I. bartlingii and I. auriculata, using Maxent. Model results suggested that these two Ixora species will shift their geographic distributions under …

Modelling spatio-temporal changes in the ecological niches of major domesticated crops in China: Application of Species Distribution Modelling
… dispersal of crops in the past related to their ecological niches. In particular, it presents the niche models for five historically significant crops in China: rice, millet, wheat, barley and buckwheat. These models are rooted in the Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) methodology and infer the …

Genomics and ecology of rapid adaptation: the expansion and evolution of the invasive common myna (<i>Acridotheres tristis</i>) and common starling (<i>Sturnus vulgaris</i>) in New Zealand
… from Maharashtra, India. Secondly, I utilised ecological data to characterise the niches of both the common myna and common starling. For both species, I found no evidence of niche divergence between the native range and New Zealand, but evidence of niche differences between the two species in …
