Incorporating microclimate into habitat suitability analysis for plethodonitd salamanders
… change is important for spatially predicting suitable habitat for conservation planning. However, current approaches to modeling suitable habitat typically rely on climate data that do not account for important buffering effects of vegetation on near-surface microclimates and are produced at …

Analysis of the One-Horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros Unicornis) Habitat in the Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal.
This study analyzes the remaining suitable habitat of the one-horned rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis, in Royal Chitwan National Park of Nepal. An April 2003 Landsat image was classified into eight land cover types: wetland, sand, water, mixed forest, sal forest, agriculture, settlement, and …

Vascular flora and rare plant modeling of the Walls of Jericho Forever Wild Tract, Jackson County, Alabama
… and Cyperaceae (7%). Additionally, we modeled suitable habitat using MaxEnt to survey for two federally listed species; Apios priceana (Fabaceae) and Clematis morefieldii (Ranunculaceae). While no occurrences were found, the model successfully delineated suitable habitat in which several other …

Using digitized herbarium specimens to predict potential distributions of Tennessee's historical angiosperm species
… to be determined extirpated. Identifying suitable habitat and previously unknown locations for species of conservation-concern has historically represented an overwhelming and often impractical task, however the development of model-based sampling approaches has made this task more …

Landscape genetics of northern bobwhite and swamp rabbits in Illinois
… are species both strongly influenced by habitat loss and fragmentation in agricultural landscapes. Population declines for the bobwhite and the paucity of information regarding swamp rabbit prevalence add uncertainty to their potential for persistence in Illinois. Research has indicated …

Predicting the Repercussions of Anthropogenic Landscape Modifications on the Biota Using Species Focused Adaptable GIS and Spatial Dynamic Models
Habitat fragmentation and species invasions are increasingly threatening the survival of native species worldwide. In this context, a set of tools and approaches was developed to help (1) improve our understanding of species relationships to the landscape and predict their habitat usage, population …

Quantifying Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex) habitat suitability in the Bangweulu Wetlands, Zambia
A quantitative analysis of suitable habitat for the Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex), a large waterbird confined to African swamps, was conducted by using a combination of aerial photographs and a previously determined habitat suitability model from the Bangweulu Wetlands, Zambia. The Shoebill is …

Predicting Spotted Knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) Range Expansion Near Missoula Montana Using Localized Climate and Elevation Data
… (Centaurea maculosa) has adapted to a variety of habitats, including pastureland, rangeland, hay land, open forests, road sides, and ditches. In 2003 this plant species dominated more than five million acres in Montana, half of the total infestation of noxious weeds in the state. This project …

Historical refuges and recolonization routes in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, inferred through phylogeographic analysis of the spotted wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata)
… also been useful in inferring areas of likely suitable habitat during past climate conditions. Several studies have examined the population history of biota in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and how they responded to climate change associated with the end of the Last Glacial Maximum …

SPATIALLY EXPLICIT MODEL OF AREAS BETWEEN SUITABLE BLACK BEAR HABITAT IN EAST TEXAS AND BLACK BEAR POPULATIONS IN LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS, AND OKLAHOMA
… United States, unregulated harvest and habitat loss resulted in severe range retractions and by the beginning of the twentieth century populations in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas were nearing extirpation. In response to these losses, translocation programs were initiated in …

The effects of paleoclimate on the distributions of some North West African Lizards.
… over the effects these changes have on a species habitat and distribution. Climate change is thought to have a major effect on the distribution of species, with the potential to cause isolated/fragmented populations, which could lead to genetic divergence. In this study species distribution …

Use of GIS and Remote Sensing Technologies to Study Habitat Requirements of Ocelots, Leopardus pardalis, in south Texas
… technologies to gain a better understanding of habitat requirements of a population of ocelots in south Texas, and then apply this knowledge to form a predictive model to locate areas of suitable habitat in Willacy and Cameron counties, Texas. Satellite imagery from August 1991 and August 2000 …

Evaluating the influence white-tailed deer have on wetland vegetation types with respect to wetland birds at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Saginaw, Michigan
… biologists concern when managing wetlands as suitable habitat for migratory waterfowl since high levels of herbivory can negatively impact plant communities. There is a knowledge gap on how deer use of wetland vegetation types may affect bird use of those same wetlands. Our objectives were to …

Recruitment of the intertidal barnacle Semibalanus balanoides ; metamorphosis and survival from daily to seasonal timescales
The benthic habitat is the terminal destination for marine animals in terms of their reproductive lifecycle. Recruitment dynamics relating to seasonal changes in the benthic habitat may be the best source of information for predicting recruit abundance and for marine resources management. The …

Potential impacts of climate change on myosorex as a model for extinction risk of montane small mammals in South Africa
… and specificity threshold was used to map suitable habitat and the number of resolution were counted to get the present and future range including percentage decrease or increase in range. The current distributions and the future distributions for all the species were compared to determine …

Recruitment of the intertidal barnacle Semibalanus balanoides : metamorphosis and survival from daily to seasonable timescales
The benthic habitat is the terminal destination for marine animals in terms of their reproductive lifecycle. Recruitment dynamics relating to seasonal changes in the benthic habitat may be the best source of information for predicting recruit abundance and for marine resources management. The …

Developing a predictive geospatial habitat model for a rare species of salamander in Tennessee: a case study for the green salamander (Aneides aeneus)
… to detect, due to their occupation of arboreal habitats. The incorporation of geospatial tools is critical in developing models that can be used to predict undocumented locations in Tennessee and elsewhere. Locating the species in Tennessee was accomplished through a total of 18 localities and …
