Ecological niche conservatism and pleistocene refugia in the thrush‐like mourner, schiffornis sp., in the neotropics

TL;DR: Using ecological niche model reconstructions of Pleistocene Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) potential distributions for the Thrush-like Mourner (Schiffornis turdina) complex in the neotropics, LGM distributional patterns reconstructed from the niche models relate significantly to phylogroups identified in previous molecular systematic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consensual predictions of potential distributional areas for invasive species: a case study of Argentine ants in the Iberian Peninsula

TL;DR: The present study estimates the potential geographic distribution and ecological requirements of the Argentine ant and provides new insights into the process of selection of consensual areas among predictions from several modeling methodologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time-specific ecological niche modeling predicts spatial dynamics of vector insects and human dengue cases

TL;DR: This work used ecological niche modeling via a genetic algorithm to produce time-specific predictive models of monthly distributions of Aedes aegypti in Mexico in 1995, indicating that predicting spatiotemporal dynamics of disease vector species is feasible and provides new potential for optimizing use of resources for disease prevention and remediation via automated forecasting of disease transmission risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling ecological niches and predicting geographic distributions: a test of six presence-only methods

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a linea de exploración enexpansion of a line of line of investigation in the field of model-to-model analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting distributions of Mexican birds using ecological niche modelling methods

TL;DR: In this article, the utility of the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction (GARP) for modelling ecological niches to make accurate predictions of geographical distributions for 25 bird species across Mexico was evaluated.
