Balancing conservation priorities for grassland and forest specialist bird communities in agriculturally dominated landscapes

Devin R. de Zwaan et al.

Summary: In landscapes dominated by agriculture in eastern Ontario and southwestern Quebec, Canada, there are conflicting habitat needs between threatened grassland birds and forest specialists. Using multi-scale species distribution models is crucial for assessing habitat suitability and maximizing species diversity in the avian community.

Snow depth drives habitat selection by overwintering birds in built-up areas, farmlands and forests

Purabi Deshpande et al.

Summary: The abundance of overwintering birds is affected by the decline in snow cover, with the most pronounced increase in farmland habitats. Furthermore, bird abundances in built-up areas show a decrease over time, but increase during periods of high snow depths. Short-distance migration strategy plays a role in explaining bird abundance changes with snow.

Is climate change threatening or beneficial to the habitat distribution of global pangolin species? Evidence from species distribution modeling

Yuyang Xian et al.

Summary: Global climate change caused by fossil energy consumption threatens the habitat of pangolins. MaxEnt modeling reveals that temperature, precipitation, geomorphology, and vegetation coverage affect the habitats of different pangolin species. Human activities pose a threat to pangolin habitats, but labor transfer in southern China mitigates the negative impact in rural areas. Illegal pangolin trade is a significant threat, and future scenarios show changes in habitat for different pangolin species.

The importance of paleodunes as nesting habitat for Northern Pine Snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus melanoleucus): risk from off-road vehicles in the New Jersey Pine Barrens

Joanna Burger et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of human development and off-road vehicle activity on the nesting habitat selection of pine snakes, highlighting the preference for paleodunes in densely forested areas. The findings suggest a potential threat to the population viability of pine snakes due to increasing urban development and high levels of off-road vehicle activity.

Integrating human and species habitat preferences in conservation in heterogeneous urban settings

Heather A. Sander et al.

Summary: Cities play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation and human well-being. However, urban conservation is challenging due to the need to support diverse species communities and human populations in heterogeneous environments. This study presents a framework for identifying conservation zones and species and human habitat preferences within cities, which can inform conservation planning and management.

Understanding the summer roosting habitat selection of the greater mouse-tailed bat (Rhinopoma microphyllum) and the small mouse-tailed bat (Rhinopoma muscatellum) in Iran

Nariman Askaripour et al.

Summary: This study utilized species distribution modeling to investigate habitat selection patterns of two bat species. The results showed that the random forest modeling algorithm performed better and the ensemble model had higher prediction performance. The selection of roosting habitat for the greater mouse-tailed bat and the small mouse-tailed bat was influenced by specific environmental variables.

Comparison of habitat models in quantifying the spatio-temporal distribution of small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) in Haizhou Bay, China

Yunlei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study compared six habitat models to quantify the spatio-temporal distribution of small yellow croaker, highlighting the superiority of machine learning algorithms over statistical methods. Random forest performed the best in identifying the distribution, and the importance of explanatory variables varied with the type of response variables. The results can facilitate the application of habitat models in marine organisms.

Assessing the relative importance of managed crops and semi-natural grasslands as foraging habitats for breeding lesser kestrels Falco naumanni in southeastern Italy

Michelangelo Morganti et al.

Summary: Farmland habitats in southeastern Italy host a significant population of breeding lesser kestrels, with the birds showing a preference for harvested cereal crops over semi-natural grasslands during the late breeding season. This landscape-scale analysis suggests that lesser kestrels may benefit more from crop management practices compared to other farmland birds of conservation concern.

Embracing Ensemble Species Distribution Models to Inform At-Risk Species Status Assessments

Carlos Ramirez-Reyes et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of using ensemble modeling techniques to improve the accuracy and reliability of species distribution models for at-risk species. By incorporating ensemble models into conservation planning and species status assessments, it is possible to enhance survey efforts, inform recovery activities, and provide more robust status assessments for at-risk species. Collaborating closely with species experts to co-produce distribution models can lead to better calibration data and model refinements, ultimately enhancing the usability and impact of model outputs.

Land-use change alters associations between personality and microhabitat selection

Allison M. Brehm et al.

Summary: The study found that there is a correlation between personality traits and microhabitat selection in small mammals, and that land-use change can alter these selection patterns, leading to either the loss of personality-associated selection or the emergence of new selection patterns. Promoting structural complexity at multiple spatial scales, such as interspersing stands of mature forest with managed stands, may help maintain a variety of intraspecific habitat selection patterns and the associated ecological outcomes.
