Journal ArticleDOI
Spatio-temporal dynamic of suitable areas for species conservation in West Africa: eight economically important wild palms under present and future climates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on eight species (Borassus aethiopum Mart, Eremospatha macrocarpa (G.Mann & H.Wendl), Hyphaene thebaica Mart, Laccosperma opacum (L.MANN et al.), Raphia sudanica A. Chev., and RAPHia vinifera P.Beauv), and defined spatial priorities for the species conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Range-wide ecological niche comparisons of parasite, hosts and dispersers in a vector-borne plant parasite system
TL;DR: The null hypothesis is that the ecological niche of the mistletoe will not be distinct from that of its hosts or vectors; alternatively, Mistletoe infections might appear in hosts only in regions where host distributions overlap suitable conditions for the parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological niche conservation and differentiation in the wood‐feeding cockroaches, Cryptocercus, in the United States
TL;DR: Modelled niches for the five Nearctic species of wood-feeding cockroaches in the genus Cryptocercus showed ecological restriction relative to the total range of available conditions, suggesting general overall conservatism in ecological characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictable ecology and geography of West Nile virus transmission in the central United States
TL;DR: High predictivity of WNV case distributions is found, suggesting that one or more elements in the WNV transmission cycle has a strong ecological determination.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the hypothesis of climate-change causation of mortality events in Mexican overwintering populations, at least in part, finding significant local weather trends toward conditions lethal for monarch survival.
