Plants are essential sources of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, feed, and forage, provide a wide range additional ecosystem cultural services to humanity. In recognition the tremendous value useful plants increasing threats their persistence, international agreements including Convention on Biological Diversity, Sustainable Development Goals, International Treaty Plant Genetic Resources for Food Agriculture have created ambitious conservation targets which must be measured through...
Abstract Aim Using survey data for North American birds, we assess how well historical patterns of species richness are explained by stacked distribution models and macroecological models. We then describe the degree to which projections future differ, employing both modelling approaches across multiple emissions scenarios. Location USA Canada. Methods use Audubon Christmas Bird Count Breeding Survey estimate current birds using two distinct approaches. In first, model stacking predictions...
Abstract Aim To evaluate how factors acting at different spatial scales influence range limits in bird species of the Colombian Andes. Location Andes Mountains Colombia. Methods We used M axent , a climate envelope model (CEM), and environmental geographic information to study range‐filling (i.e. extent which occurs all areas it is predicted occur) 70 range‐restricted Environmental data were taken from WorldClim database, occurrence museum collated by BioMap project, an observational...
Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a booming area of research that has had an exponential increase in use and development recent years. We performed search scientific literature found 5,533 documents published from 1993 to 2018 using SDM, representing global network 4,329 collaborating institutions 155 countries, with Brazil Mexico being the top 10 most prolific countries globally. National Autonomous University Mexico, Chinese Academy Sciences, Kansas, U.S. Geological Survey are...
Information on species distribution is recognized as a crucial input for biodiversity conservation and management. To that end, considerable resources have been dedicated towards increasing the quantity availability of occurrence data, boosting their use in modeling online platforms dissemination. Currently, those face challenge bringing biology into by making informed decisions result meaningful models, based limited ecological data. Here we describe BioModelos, approach supported an system...
ABSTRACT Human activities have profound impacts on ecological systems and biodiversity worldwide. Estimating wildlife response to those across broad spatial scales is challenging, yet effective conservation measures require an understanding of where when these are contributing population declines. We investigated the relationship between exposure human (conservation challenges) trends migratory warblers (Parulidae) that breed in United States Canada. Our four‐stage approach (1) summarizes...
Abstract Aim Species distribution maps are essential for assessing extinction risk and guiding conservation efforts. However, most come sourced as expert‐drawn range with known issues of accuracy or developed overly complex modelling procedures. Thus, data‐driven alternatives that accessible reliable a welcome addition to the spatial toolkit. Here, we geospatial workflow refine species from its extent occurrence (EOO) area habitat (AOH) within map. The produced an inverse distance weighted...
Georeferencing error is prevalent in datasets used to model species distributions, inducing uncertainty covariate values associated with occurrences that result biased probability of occurrence estimates. Traditionally, this has been dealt at the data‐level by using only records an acceptable level (filtering) or summarizing covariates sampling units measures central tendency (averaging). Here we compare those previous approaches a novel implementation Bayesian logistic regression...
Estimates of species’ ranges can inform many aspects biodiversity research and conservation-management decisions. Many practical applications need high-precision range estimates that are sufficiently reliable to use as input data in downstream applications. One solution has involved expert-generated maps reflect on-the-ground field information implicitly capture various processes may limit a geographic distribution. However, expert often subjective rarely reproducible. In contrast, species...
A pesar de los avances en registros primarios especies, sesgos calidad y accesibilidad información dificultan el estudio patrones espaciales biodiversidad. Se presenta primer análisis sistemático sobre la distribución temporal espacial mamíferos silvestres terrestres continentales Colombia. Mediante uso bases datos, identificamos áreas administrativas ecorregiones con mayores vacíos a nivel orden para número especies registradas respecto al esperadas. Además, realizamos complementariedad...
Ecological connectivity among Protected Areas (PAs) is essential to improve biodiversity conservation and management effectiveness under global change. In Colombia, developing strategic plans locating spatial priorities for PA fundamental conserving its extraordinary bird diversity in the face of multiple threats, including deforestation climate Here, we develop a multispecies model identify critical sites preserving enhancing ecological connections PAs Colombia. We focused our analyses on...
Abstract The conservation of migratory birds poses a fundamental challenge, their requires coordinated action across the hemisphere, but those actions must be designed and implemented locally. To address this we describe multilevel framework for linking broad‐scale, full annual cycle prioritizations to local birds. We developed hemisphere‐scale spatial that breed in six different ecosystems North America. provide hemispheric context within which regional priorities can identified. Finer...
En 2016 implementamos un sistema de seminarios enseñanza en formato videos libres y accesibles desde internet, con la finalidad dar a conocer forma sencilla castellano, las bases conceptuales aplicaciones ecología espacial los modelos nicho ecológico estudios ecología, conservación biológica, epidemiología agrobiodviersidad, así como su implementación para el diseño políticas públicas recursos naturales. Cada seminario fue desarrollado por uno o varios expertos se discutieron conceptos,...
Maintaining biodiversity is crucial for ensuring human well-being. The authors participated in a workshop held Palenque, Mexico, August 2018, that brought together 30 mostly early-career scientists working different disciplines (natural, social and economic sciences) with the aim of identifying research priorities studying contributions to people how these might be impacted by environmental change. Five main groups questions emerged: (1) Enhancing quantity, quality, availability data; (2)...
ABSTRACT Species distribution maps are essential for assessing extinction risk and guiding conservation efforts. Here, we developed a data-driven, reproducible geospatial workflow to map species distributions evaluate their status consistent with the guidelines criteria of IUCN Red List. Our follows five automated steps refine starting from its Extent Occurrence (EOO) Area Habitat (AOH) within range. The ranges produced an Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation procedure, using...

Abstract Creating software tools that address the needs of a wide range decision-makers requires inclusion differing perspectives throughout development process. Software for biodiversity conservation often fall short in this regard, partly because broad decision-maker may exceed toolkits single research groups or even institutions. We show participatory, collaborative codesign enhances utility better decision-making planning, as demonstrated by our experiences developing set integrated...
