Journal ArticleDOI
Robustness of ecological niche modeling algorithms for mammals in Guyana
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the genetic algorithm for rule-set prediction (GARP) to predict the distribution of species' distributions with environmental data for wellstudied birds in the United States and elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate-driven diversification and pleistocene refugia in philippine birds: evidence from phylogeographic structure and paleoenvironmental niche modeling
Peter A. Hosner,Luis A. Sánchez-González,Luis A. Sánchez-González,A. Townsend Peterson,Robert G. Moyle +4 more
TL;DR: Ecological niche models for seven bird species identified a common paleoclimate barrier that coincided with deep genetic structure among populations, resulting in long‐term isolation and genetic differentiation in the Philippines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing Ecological Niche Evolution When Niches Are Incompletely Characterized
Erin E. Saupe,Narayani Barve,Hannah L. Owens,Jacob C. Cooper,Peter A. Hosner,A. Townsend Peterson +5 more
TL;DR: Whether incomplete niche characterizations inherent in most estimates of species' niches bias phylogenetic reconstructions of niche evolution is tested, using simulations of virtual species with known niches and results establish that incompletely characterized niches inflate estimates of evolutionary change and lead to error in ancestral state reconstructions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of Rift Valley Fever Virus in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
TL;DR: The overall picture of RVFV history is one of considerable mobility, and dynamic evolution and biogeography, emphasizing its invasive potential, potentially more broadly than its current distributional limits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate and landscape correlates of African lion (Panthera leo) demography
Gastone G. Celesia,A. Townsend Peterson,Julian C. Kerbis Peterhans,Julian C. Kerbis Peterhans,Thomas P. Gnoske +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed range-wide effects of eight biotic and 26 abiotic variables on lion distribution and ecology, based on data compiled from published sources on lion population ecology in 27 protected areas in Africa.
