Habitat loss is a primary cause of species decline, and predicting the distribution of quality
habitats across broad scales is needed for conservation of rare species. Secretive marsh …

To quantify the effect of the surrounding landscape context on a biological response at a
site, most studies measure landscape variables within discs centred on this biological …

Context Multispecies and multiscale habitat suitability models (HSM) are important to identify
the environmental variables and scales influencing habitat selection and facilitate the …

Bayesian networks (BN) have been increasingly used for habitat suitability modeling of
threatened species due to their potential to construct robust models with limited survey data …

Context Measuring the quality of habitats necessary for the survival of threatened species is
a priority for conservation management, but traditional metrics are often too costly to …

Wild tiger numbers continue to decline despite decades of conservation action.
Identification, conservation and restoration of tiger habitat will be a key component of …

Defining species' niches is central to understanding their distributions and is thus
fundamental to basic ecology and climate change projections. Ecological niche models …

A fundamental step in conserving biodiversity is identification of quality habitat needed to
sustain populations of target species. We used coarse scale environmental features (soil …

Habitat evaluation is essential for managing wildlife populations and formulating
conservation policies. With the rise of innovative powerful statistical techniques in …

Abstract Species Distribution Models (SDMs) can be used to estimate potential geographic
ranges and derive indices to assess species conservation status. However, habitat …
