Contemporary climate change is rapidly affecting species’ ranges and distributions. While there a general trend of poleward movement, are exceptions. For example, despite the North American least weasel’s ( Mustela nivalis ) elusive nature, mammalogists in mid-1900s noted potential southward extension its range into central US, opposite paradigm. Historically, record species new location was sufficient for documenting expansion; yet, such observations can be biased by extent regional...
Place-prioritization analyses are a means by which researchers can translate information on the geographic distributions of species into quantitative prioritizations areas for biodiversity conservation action. Although several robust algorithms now available to support this sort analysis, their vulnerability biases deriving from incomplete and imbalanced distributional is not well understood. In contribution, we took well-sampled group (i.e., Icteridae or New World blackbirds) in an...
The process of georeferencing is fundamentally a matter spatial relationships: where the point interest in relation to Prime Meridian, Equator, nearest landmark, etc. adding geographic coordinates and uncertainty measurements data coming from work others often complicated by interpretation subjectivity. Take for instance description, “found near city Springfield", which might be assigned coordinate pair based on centroid city’s footprint. If implication that subject was found around...
