Abstract Wildlife trade for non-native pets is an important and increasing driver of biodiversity loss often compromises the standards required protection. However, growing interest in has posed issue invasive species to wildlife managers conservationists. Instituting effective policies regarding requires a thorough understanding potential range new environments. In this study, we used ensemble ten distribution models predict 23 commonly traded reptiles across Middle East. We modeling techniques implemented Biomod2 package forecasts. Final contained fourteen environmental variables, including climatic, topographic, land cover/land use variables. Our results indicate that all Eastern countries included suitable habitats at least six species, except Qatar, Kuwait Bahrain which did not any habitats. study showed Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey, Israel face highest risk biological invasion by on whole. Also, Centrochelys sulcata , Chamaeleo calyptratus Trachemys scripta spreading area. Information pose greater danger as invaders possible impacts their introduction will be valuable contribution development conservation plans policies.

Although the population of Przewalski’s gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) has increased, this species is still threatened by a variety risk factors, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, grassland fencing, grazing conflict, segmentation different populations, declines in genetic diversity. In order to determine potential suitable find new location for its conservation translocation, we used MaxEnt model predict habitats Qinghai Province, Gansu Ordos Plateau Inner Mongolia other regions with historical distribution records. On basis model’s prediction gazelle, GAP analysis existing protection gaps provide reference future gazelle. We found that altitude, temperature, vegetation type, distance from roads were main environmental factors affecting geographical Most confined around Lake. revealed most are not included established reserves, Lake National Nature Reserve only covers small area The whole reserve accounts 7.11% 15.79% highly suggest translocation should be put on agenda. It necessary consider reintroducing these gazelles into their feasible way establishing populations saving species.

Global climate change is causing unprecedented impacts on biodiversity. In India, there little information available regarding how affects biodiversity at the taxon/group level, and large-scale ecological analyses have been lacking. this study, we demonstrated applicability of eBird GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), produced national-scale forecasts to examine possible terrestrial avifauna in India. Using data collected by citizen scientists, developed fine-tuned Species Distribution Models (SDMs) predicted 1091 bird species that would be distributed India 2070 two climatic surfaces (RCP 4.5 8.5), using Maximum Entropy-based distribution algorithms.

Knowledge of the habitat regulating factors is obligatory for protection better management these vultures. Therefore, different types habitats were mapped using eight species distribution models. Presence records from field survey, published data citizen science, 23 bioenvironmental raster layers model inputs. Eighteen models developed whose strength varied greatly. As per performance indicators, GBM GLM found to be superior EGV. For EBV all acceptable. MARS, with good strength, was rejected on grounds verification.

The Three-Toed Woodpecker Picoides tridactylus is a rare and endangered woodpecker on the Balkan Peninsula. Despite being widely distributed in Northern Europe, its distribution Peninsula limited to high-altitude forest habitats, where it represents glacial relict. Assessing climate change impacts can be crucial for improving conservation future survival of this specialist species We used modelling (SDM) identify potential past (last interglacial last maximum), present, (2050 2070). Our results indicate that had greatest during maximum, after which contracted areas suitable environment persisted (high altitudes). largest territory has an unsuitable inhabit, while highly habitats have smallest share total area habitats. All models show decrease compared with current period, indicating global warming negative effect species. recommend activities must greater extent ensure species’ Balkans.
