TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to obtain from logistic regression an environmental favourability function whose results are not affected by an uneven proportion of presences and absences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the results of the Spanish Otter Survey of 1994-1996, a Geographic Information System and stepwise multiple logistic regression to model otter presence/absence data in the continental Spanish UTM 10� 10-km squares.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the increased probability of an EVD outbreak occurring in a site is linked to recent deforestation events, and that preventing the loss of forests could reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used stepwise logistic regression on a set of environmental, spatial and human variables to model Bonelli's eagle distribution in the 5167 UTM 10 × 10 km quadrats of peninsular Spain.

TL;DR: It is argued that fragmentation of the existing Pygmy populations, alongside pressure from extractive industries and sometimes conflict with conservation areas, endanger their future and there is an urgent need to inform policies that can mitigate against future external threats to these indigenous peoples’ culture and lifestyles.
