Presence-only models can aid conservation and management of threatened, elusive
species. We developed a Maxent model for the rare cerambycid beetle Rosalia longicorn …

1. Natura 2000 network (N 2000) and national protected areas (NPA s) are recognised as
the most important core 'units' for biological conservation in E urope. 2. Species distribution …

Despite the popularity of the saproxylic cerambycid Rosalia alpina as a flagship species, its
ecology is still poorly know, especially in the southern part of its range. Detailed information …

Saproxylic insects are characterised by their exceptional diversity and high proportion of
threatened species. No recent studies have demonstrated the validity of habitat suitability …

Our aim is to model rare species (with few occurrences) but modelling the distribution of
species with few occurrence data and many predictor variables leads to model overfitting …

Copyright Alessandro Campanaro et al. Rosalia alpina (Linnaeus, 1758) is a large longhorn
beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) which is protected by the Habitats Directive and which …

The Rosalia longicorn or Alpine longhorn (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an endangered
and strictly protected icon of European saproxylic biodiversity. Despite its popularity, lack of …

Despite its size and attractiveness, many Lucanus cervus sites remain undetected in NW
Europe because of its short flight period and its nocturnal activity. Therefore, present-day …

This paper compares the performance of five modelling methods in the prediction of a
species distribution, using a data set describing the distribution of the threatened clouded …

Rosalia alpina is an endangered and strictly protected icon of saproxylic biodiversity
throughout its range. Despite its popularity, information on its habitats and host-plants is …
