Bias correction in species distribution models based on geographic and environmental characteristics

Ecological Informatics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 81, С. 102604 - 102604

Correcting sampling bias in species distribution models (SDMs) is challenging. The difficulty lies accurately identifying and quantifying the scarcity of samples, which greatly impedes implementation correction. Current methods often adjust presence or background points within geographic environmental spaces to correct probability estimation SDMs. However, these may lead information loss, rely on subjective assumptions, separate geography environment when correcting for bias. This study proposes a novel easily implementable method termed "aggregation background." selects data based aggregation degree feature space, thereby approximating representation correction samples. We compared this new with other prevalent existing literature by analyzing ecological authenticity. Under varying biases sample sizes, filtering achieved more accurate predictions target group methods. Notably, size was small (≤70), superior that obtained using method. These findings underscore effectiveness improving limited available data, without relying assumptions about Our provides approach complex unknown

Invasive species are the major cause of native biodiversity loss and extinction, which have predominantly affected one world's 'hottest hotspots' located in Western Ghats, India with varied intensity. Therefore, present study, an investigation has been undertaken to model potential habitat dominant invasive plant (IPSs) viz., Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M.King & H.Rob. Lantana camara L. current future climate change scenarios by evaluating influence bioclimatic topographical variables using distribution modelling (SDM). The study exhibited large invasion proliferation C.

As a World Natural Heritage Site primarily focused on protecting migratory bird habitats, the Yancheng coastal wetland is also an important land resource reserve area in China. With long history of reclamation, impact reclamation waterbird habitats has attracted widespread attention. Therefore, this study was based distribution data wintering Anatidae from 1987 to 2020 and data. The landscape development intensity (LDI) index MaxEnt model were used reveal spatiotemporal changes identify evolution characteristics habitats.

Abstract The populations of Dactylorhiza hatagirea are shrinking fast across the north-western Himalayas. Although effects contemporary anthropic factors on its distribution well documented, impacts anticipated climate change have not been evaluated. In present study, maximum entropy modelling (MaxEnt) was used to quantify impact D. over next 50 years under representative concentration pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5, using ensemble mean four general circulation models, viz. CCSM4, CNRM, MRI, GFDL. results exhibited a fairly good model performance, with attaining highest suitability when ‘annual temperature’ precipitation’ peaks at ca. 11.5 °C 1,250 mm, respectively. variables greater influence (%) were annual precipitation (40.7), temperature wettest quarter (22.9), seasonality (16.6), (10.4). Under current climate, about 790 km 2 that spread Kashmir (274.1 km2) Jammu (210.5 ), Ladakh (305.6 ) identified as high potential habitat (HPH) areas. predicted showed for RCP HPH areas would decrease by 4.2 5.4%, 2050 2070, while RC P8.5 be 18.1 8.7%, shrinkage may more obvious tropical temperate regions, species gain new cold arid appears mild, but it exhibits specificity grows inherently slow, this insignificant enhance risk local extinction. Therefore, an integrated approach involving in-situ measures where disappear, ex-situ measures, expand, is hugely important.

The tropical tree species Symplocos cochinchinensis plays a crucial role in ecological restoration and serves as resource for traditional medicine, dyeing, timber production. Assessing its distribution patterns adaptive responses to global climate change is essential maintaining ecosystems developing conservation strategies. This study elucidates the spatial projects potential geographic shifts of widely distributed S. under scenarios. A compilation data from local herbaria databases yielded 5050 occurrence records, covering majority native range tropics subtropics. We modeled species’ habitats using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle current, 2050, 2070 scenarios high-emission SSP585. Our analysis reveals that sampling bias substantially influences observed cochinchinensis. Predictions indicate decrease barely suitable an increase areas deemed highly suitable, suggesting stress niche shift towards with favorable microclimates “Precipitation Wettest Month” (Bio 13) “Mean Temperature Quarter” 8). findings reveal cochinchinensis’s resilience, offering valuable insights strategies management Southeast Asia, well reference response other common change.
