Predictive performance of presence-only species distribution models: a benchmark study with reproducible code

Roozbeh Valavi et al.

Summary: This study reanalyzed a dataset of 225 species from six different regions to explore patterns in predictive performance across different methods. It found that the way models are fitted matters, with some emerging methods outperforming traditional regression algorithms.

The diversity of biotic interactions complements functional and phylogenetic facets of biodiversity

Pierre Gauzere et al.

Summary: Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversities are important facets of biodiversity. However, the diversity of biotic interactions has been largely ignored in large-scale studies. The diversity of interactions provides important and unique information for understanding community dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and conservation planning.

Inclusion of biotic variables improves predictions of environmental niche models

Fabrice Stephenson et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of biotic variables on species distribution models (SDMs). The results show that the inclusion of biotic variables can improve the model performance for both species, especially for Macomona. This research is important for predicting impacts of climate change in unsampled areas. By integrating ecological theories on how species interactions can alter species distributions across environmental gradients, the classic SDMs can be enhanced.

Expert range maps of global mammal distributions harmonised to three taxonomic authorities

Charles J. Marsh et al.

Summary: This article introduces a database of global mammal species' native range maps, including various tools for integration with other data. These expert maps provide basic information for broad-scale research and conservation.

Biological invasions facilitate zoonotic disease emergences

Lin Zhang et al.

Summary: Outbreaks of zoonotic diseases are accelerating due to globalization, with alien species introductions playing a significant role. This study finds a positive correlation between the number of zoonosis events and the richness of alien zoonotic hosts worldwide, as well as associations with climate change, land-use change, biodiversity loss, human population density, and PubMed citations.
