This software note announces a new open‐source release of the Maxent for modeling species distributions from occurrence records and environmental data, describes R package fitting such models. The (ver. 3.4.0) will be hosted online by American Museum Natural History, along with future versions. It contains small functional changes, most notably use complementary log‐log (cloglog) transform to produce an estimate probability. cloglog derives recently‐published interpretation as inhomogeneous...
Engaging local stakeholders is a central feature of many biodiversity conservation and natural resource management projects globally. Current literature on engagement predominantly focuses individual case studies or specific geographical contexts, making general conclusions regarding the effect these efforts outcomes difficult. We reviewed evidence from peer-reviewed grey literatures related to role stakeholder (both externally-driven self-organized engagement) in at scale using both...
Released 4 years ago, the Wallace EcoMod application (R package wallace ) provided an open‐source and interactive platform for modeling species niches distributions that served as a reproducible toolbox educational resource. harnesses R tools documented in literature makes them available via graphical user interface runs analyses returns code to document reproduce them. Since its release, feedback from users partners helped identify key areas advancement, leading development of 2. Following...
Abstract Understanding ecological niche evolution over evolutionary timescales is crucial to elucidating the biogeographic history of organisms. Here, we used, for first time, climate‐based models ( ENM s) test hypotheses about divergence and speciation processes between sister species pairs lemurs (genus E ulemur) in Madagascar. We produced s eight species, all which had significant validation support. Among four pairs, found nonequivalent niches sisters, varying degrees overlap geographic...
Wildlife trade represents a major threat to endangered-species populations, especially in Southeast Asia, where continues at high levels despite increased efforts control illegal activities. To identify management strategies that better mitigate the of this trade, research must address knowledge gaps about complexity established networks. This requires comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach integrates biological, anthropological, socioeconomic, other kinds data involves multiple...
Improving models of species' distributions is essential for conservation, especially in light global change. Species distribution (SDMs) often rely on mean environmental conditions, yet species are also a function heterogeneity and filtering acting at multiple spatial scales. Geodiversity, which we define as the variation abiotic features processes Earth's entire geosphere (inclusive climate), has potential to improve SDMs conservation assessments, they capture dimensions niches, however...
Wildlife trade can present a major threat to primate populations. In Vietnam, slow lorises (genus Nycticebus ) are subject local, regional and international demand for diverse uses including as medicine, meat pets. Ethnographic approaches explore the nuances of human-primate interactions in complex sociocultural contexts. We combined ethnographic interviews key informants with information from questionnaires, focus groups movie broadcast on Vietnamese television knowledge values related...
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...
Spatially explicit biogeographic models are among the most used methods in conservation biogeography, with correlative species distribution (SDMs) being popular them. SDMs can identify potential for species’ and community range shifts under climate change, thus inspire, inform, guide complex adaptive management planning efforts such as collaborative transboundary frameworks. However, rarely developed collaboratively, which would be ideal applications of models. Further, that applied to often...
Landscape genetic studies offer a fine-scale understanding of how habitat heterogeneity influences population structure. We examined structure and conducted landscape analysis for the endangered Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii) that lives in fragmented, human-modified habitats Pacific region Costa Rica. analyzed non-invasively collected fecal samples from 244 individuals 14 groups 16 microsatellite markers. found two geographically separate clusters with evidence recent...
Genetic analysis of historical museum collections presents an opportunity to clarify the evolutionary history understudied primate groups, improve taxonomic inferences, and inform conservation efforts. Among most slow pygmy lorises (genera Nycticebus Xanthonycticebus) are nocturnal strepsirrhines found in South Southeast Asia. Previous molecular studies have supported five species, but using morphological data suggest existence at least nine species. We sequenced four mitochondrial loci,...
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...
Abstract Lemurs are a well-known example of adaptive radiation. Since colonizing Madagascar, more than 100 extant lemur species have evolved to fill the variety ecological niches on island. However, recent work suggests that lemurs do not exhibit one hallmarks radiations: explosive speciation rates decline over time. We test this idea using phylogenomic dataset with broad taxonomic sampling and their sister group, lorisiforms Asia continental Africa. find higher in Madagascar’s compared we...
Abstract Disclaimer In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon possible after acceptance. Accepted have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted before technical formatting author proofing. These not final version record will be replaced with article (formatted per style proofed by authors) at a later time.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that the manufacturer's standard fixed dosing of enoxaparin for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis leads to sub-prophylactic anti-Xa levels in medicine patients with obesity. Yet, there is limited literature describing higher strategies this patient population, and an optimal regimen has not been well-established. Objective: The primary objective was evaluate mean doses (mg/kg/d) prophylactic are associated goal obesity across 3 body mass index...
The critically endangered Vietnamese Pond Turtle (Mauremys annamensis), an endemic species occurring in a small lowland area central Vietnam, has been virtually extirpated from its natural range. As result, reintroduction of held individuals worldwide, especially Europe, the United States, and will play vital role recovery programs. Nevertheless, discordance between different molecular markers inferring placements two closely related species, M. annamensis mutica, existence distinct...

After brief introduction study system—the status Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus)—students will be asked review an open-access, peer-reviewed publication that features samples from varied museum, archaeological, paleontological contexts. Through reading guide discussion questions, reflect upon...

To address the challenges of sampling endangered or extinct species in field, many studies have turned to historically underutilized sources genetic material: natural history museums. Despite fact that DNA from specimens collected decades even hundreds years ago is often fragmented and degraded, research has shown historical can still be used effectively infer phylogenetic relationships intra-specific patterns population structure. This synthesis aims provide students conservation...
