Ensemble species distribution models combine the strengths of several environmental matching models, while minimizing weakness any one model. may be particularly useful in risk analysis recently arrived, harmful invasive because not yet have spread to all suitable habitats, leaving species-environment relationships difficult determine. We tested five individual (logistic regression, boosted regression trees, random forest, multivariate adaptive splines (MARS), and maximum entropy model or...
Abstract Analysis of an invasive species' niche shift between native and introduced ranges, along with potential distribution maps, can provide valuable information about its potential. The tawny crazy ant, N ylanderia fulva , is a rapidly emerging economically important species in the southern United States. It originally from east‐central South America has also invaded Colombia Caribbean Islands. Our objectives were to generate global map for . identify climatic drivers associated current...
National Parks are hallmarks of ecosystem preservation in the United States. The introduction alien invasive plant species threatens protection these areas. Bromus tectorum L. (commonly called downy brome or cheatgrass), which is found Rocky Mountain Park (hereafter, Park), Colorado, USA, has been implicated early spring competition with native grasses, decreased soil nitrogen, altered nutrient and hydrologic regimes, increased fire intensity. We estimated potential distribution B. based on...
Abstract Habitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging to synthesize. Inconsistencies among may result from variation in the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded by a lack key statistical or methodological information. Collating primary datasets on biodiversity responses consistent flexible database permits simple data retrieval for subsequent analyses. We present relational links such field taxonomic nomenclature,...
The use of statistical models to predict species distributions and suitable habitat has become an essential tool for wildlife management conservation planning. Models have been especially useful with rare endangered species. One such is the mountain nyala (Tragelaphus buxtoni), a spiral-horned antelope endemic Ethiopian highlands. full range never adequately defined recent discoveries new populations suggest that others may exist undetected. To identify potential occurrences, we used...
Aquatic invasive species are a major threat to native freshwater ecosystems and cause enormous ecological economic damage worldwide. Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt is an emerging aquatic that spreading aggressively in Southern South America. Using niche analysis distribution models (SDMs), we examined requirements of D. using climatic, topographic, biological variables. We compared the realized United States (US) with Chile. Within Chile, also environmental conditions...
Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) data can be used to identify larval mosquito habitats predict species distribution abundance across a landscape. An understanding of the landscape features that impact dispersal then applied operationally in control efforts reduce transmission mosquito-borne pathogens. In an effort better understand effects heterogeneity on West Nile virus (WNV) vector Culex tarsalis, we determined associations between GIS-based environmental at multiple...
Abstract Pikas ( Ochotona Link, 1795) are high‐altitude specialist species making them a useful bioindicator to warming in ecosystem. The Himalayan Mountains an important part of their range, supporting approximately 23%–25% total pika worldwide, yet we lack basic information on the distribution patterns. We combine field‐based surveys with genetics‐based identification and phylogeny identify differences species‐environment relationships. Further, suggest putative evolutionary causes for...
Codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.) is an internal feeding pest of apples and can cause substantial economic losses to fruit growers due larval which in turn degrades quality result complete crop loss if left uncontrolled. Although this originally developed central Asia, it was not known occur China until 1953. For the first three decades spread codling within slow. Within last decades, addition new commercial apple orchards improved transportation, has over 131 counties seven provinces China....
Abstract Invasive populations of Dalmation toadflax [ Linaria dalmatica (L.) Mill.] and yellow ( vulgaris Mill.) are widespread throughout the Intermountain West, where gene flow between these nonnative species is producing vigorous fertile hybrids. These hybrid less responsive to herbicides than either parent species, biocontrol agents routinely released on L. often fail establish hosts. Early detection therefore essential for effective management, but resources limited scouting large...
