Journal Article
Geographic variation and species limits in Middle American woodnymphs (Thalurania)
Journal ArticleDOI
Continent-wide association of H5N1 outbreaks in wild and domestic birds in Europe.
TL;DR: Ecological niche requirements for H5N1 between paired host groups are compared and an overall signal of niche similarity among groups is not found and it is concluded that the transmission cycles are broadly interwoven.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential distribution of the Vulnerable African lion Panthera leo in the face of changing global climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate possible impacts of global climate change on the geographical distribution of the African lion Panthera leo in the coming decades using current lion population occurrence data across Africa and distributions of lions in historical times (6,000-100 years before present) integrated with data on present-day climates to generate ecological niche models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change influences on the potential distribution of Dianthus polylepis Bien. ex Boiss. (Caryophyllaceae), an endemic species in the Irano-Turanian region.
TL;DR: The authors' results can be used to define high-priority areas in the Irano-Turanian region for conservation management plans for this species and can offer a template for analyses of other endangered and threatened species in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing Museum Resources for the Census of Marine Life: The FISHNET Project
TL;DR: The FishNet project as mentioned in this paper is a distributed information system that provides data towards answering two fundamental questions regarding marine biodiversity: how many vouchered records exist for each species of fishes, and what are their distributions in time and space.
