Combining environmental niche models, multi-grain analyses, and species traits identifies pervasive effects of land use on butterfly biodiversity across Italy

Federico Riva et al.

Summary: Understanding the impacts of land use on biodiversity is crucial for ecology and conservation science. A new analytical framework combining niche models, multi-grain analyses, and species traits was proposed to assess the effects of agriculture and urbanization on Italian butterflies. The study found scale-dependent and pervasive impacts, with agriculture and urbanization negatively affecting small butterflies and those with short flight curve. The research highlights the importance of considering large-scale patterns in land use for effective conservation efforts.

Status and distribution of jaguarundi in Texas and Northeastern Mexico: Making the case for extirpation and initiation of recovery in the United States

Jason Lombardi et al.

Summary: The jaguarundi is likely extirpated from the United States, but there are small populations in the northern Sierra of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Recovery actions should be taken to identify suitable habitat in Texas and reintroduce the jaguarundi.

Integrating distance sampling and presence-only data to estimate species abundance

Matthew T. Farr et al.

Summary: Integrated models combining presence-only data and distance sampling data improve accuracy and precision of estimates for species abundance and covariate effects. A case study in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya revealed that human disturbance was a major driver of black-backed jackal abundance patterns. The model showed minimal effects of landscape cover, lion density, and distance to water sources on jackal abundance.

A complete inventory of North American butterfly occurrence data: narrowing data gaps, but increasing bias

Vaughn Shirey et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant under-sampling in butterfly inventories in North America, with community science observations filling more gaps in sampling but showing a bias towards areas with higher human footprint. Additionally, both types of observations exhibit familial-level taxonomic completeness biases.

Model-based integration of citizen science data from disparate sources increases the precision of bird population trends

Lionel R. Hertzog et al.

Summary: Integrating data from different sources can improve the precision of bird population trend estimates, allowing conservation managers to identify declining populations earlier. Utilizing data from online databases can substantially increase sample size, especially at sub-national scales, and derive trends for currently not well-monitored species.

Data integration enables global biodiversity synthesis

J. Mason Heberling et al.

Summary: The study found a significant increase in the number of publications using data mediated by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) from 2003 to 2019. While data use patterns were diverse, research topics remained stable in some areas, but increased in others, such as species interactions and diseases, showing the vast potential of biodiversity data networks.

Effectively and accurately mapping global biodiversity patterns for different regions and taxa

Alice C. Hughes et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the representativeness and accuracy of expert range maps, and found biases in different taxa. Alternative methods were shown to better reconstruct distribution patterns than expert maps, indicating that data-driven approaches are needed for a more reliable understanding of species distributions.

Integrating citizen-science and planned-survey data improves species distribution estimates

Viviane Zulian et al.

Summary: Mapping species distributions is essential in wildlife management, and this study successfully integrates data from planned surveys and citizen-science platforms to map the range of the Vinaceous-breasted Parrot. The results demonstrate that integrating multiple datasets leads to more reliable representation of species range and enhances the use of citizen-science data in wildlife management.

Integration of presence-only data from several sources: a case study on dolphins' spatial distribution

Sara Martino et al.

Summary: This study proposed a new protocol for presence-only data fusion, incorporating information sources such as social media platforms to reduce uncertainty in species distribution modeling. By analyzing spatial data on two dolphin species with different ecological characteristics and applying different detection functions and thinning methods, the study revealed the impact on ecological findings. The findings provide insights into species distribution in the study area and demonstrate the method's broad applicability.

Data integration methods to account for spatial niche truncation effects in regional projections of species distribution

Mathieu Chevalier et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of spatial niche truncation on SDMs projections and the performance of different methods in addressing this issue. Findings revealed that certain approaches integrating information from larger-scale data sets could reduce bias, with performance varying based on the level of truncation and data combination.
