Maximum Entropy Modeling of Indiana Bat (Myotis Sodalis) Maternity Roost Habitat
… and slope) were used as input variables for a MaxEnt model of species distribution. I used ENMTools to identify which analysis features produced the best MaxEnt model for this data set. Linear and quadratic analysis features, separately, fit the data the best. When cross-validated through four …

The role of perceptual similarity and gradient phonotactic well-formedness in loan gemination processes/
… vowel duration), and orthography. I propose a MaxEnt model with weighted constraints which incorporates these factors and predicts the probability of productive loan gemination.

Using Maximum Entropy to Model the Distribution of an Endangered, Endemic Crayfish Cambarus Harti (Hobbs)
… must be expanded. Species distribution models are a cost-effective way to identify locations that have similar habitat characteristics to those with known populations. One species distribution model, Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt), is the preferred approach when modeling species, like <em>C. …

THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ON PREDICTING RARE-PLANT HABITAT IN THE NEZ PERCE NATIONAL FOREST
<p>Habitat suitability modeling is widely-used in both biogeography and ecology to characterize the biophysical requirements and distribution of plant and animal species. Many of these modeling efforts use different variants of essentially the same topo-climatic variables (elevation, slope, aspect, …

Predictive Analysis of Arizona Dust Storms (1996–2023): GIS, Artificial Intelligence (MaxEnt), and Spatiotemporal Data
… dissertation looks at how well Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model can predict duststorms in Arizona, United States. MaxEnt is a machine learning tool that was first developed to predict where different species might live. MaxEnt uses presence-only data which makes it especially useful in environments …

SPATIALLY EXPLICIT MODEL OF AREAS BETWEEN SUITABLE BLACK BEAR HABITAT IN EAST TEXAS AND BLACK BEAR POPULATIONS IN LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS, AND OKLAHOMA
… and the east Texas recovery units. I utilized Maxent, a machine learning software, to model habitat suitability in this region. I collected known black bear presence locations (n=18,241) from state agencies in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas and east Texas and filtered them to reduce spatial …

Using eDNA and Habitat Suitability Modeling to Better Understand the Range and Habitat Requirements of the Eastern Black Rail
… environmental DNA (eDNA) and an ecological niche model identifying areas and characteristics of suitable habitat for this species. To detect Black Rail eDNA I developed a qPCR assay that targets a 219-bp region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (COI) and uses a fluorescent reporter probe …

The contribution of fog to the moisture and nutritional supply of Arthraerua leubnitziae in the central Namib Desert, Namibia
… and used with climate and edaphic variables in MaxEnt model of the probability of occurrence of A. leubnitziae. The occurrence of A. leubnitziae was found to coincide with areas with high fog occurrence with fog contributing 36% to the modelled distribution of A. leubnitziae alongside …

DNA-based Population Estimation, Harvest Vulnerability, and Home Range Dynamics of Black Bears in Western Maryland
… of bear hair during summer 2011. We used a model-based sampling design that allowed us to collect samples more efficiently. We used presence-only maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling to classify the study area based on predicted probability of bear occurrence, and allocated the majority of our …
