Jaguar (Panthera onca) density in the Sierra Madre del Sur; the last wilderness area in the central-western slope in Mexico

Juan F. Charre-Medellin et al.

Summary: This study estimated the density of jaguars in the last wilderness ecoregion of central-western Mexico, and found that the population in this region is low in density and highly vulnerable, deserving priority attention from national conservation strategies.

Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations

Julie A. Lee-Yaw et al.

Summary: Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology to infer habitat suitability for species of interest; however, studies show a decline in predictive performance from occurrence to genetic diversity, with higher success rates in single species evaluations. The limited accuracy of SDMs reported may reflect the best-case scenario, emphasizing the need for independent data validation when using these models in conservation decisions.

Predictor complexity and feature selection affect Maxent model transferability: Evidence from global freshwater invasive species

Bi Wei Low et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that using simpler predictor datasets can produce more accurate models than comprehensive bioclimatic datasets when detailed biological knowledge of focal species is lacking. Additionally, tuning models for optimal regularization parameters and feature-class combinations leads to the greatest increases in transferability and geographic niche conservatism. The findings suggest a delicate balance between model transferability and AICc, cautioning against the indiscriminate use of AICc as an estimate of model parsimony for stable model performance.

Predicting species abundance by implementing the ecological niche theory

Alejandro de la Fuente et al.

Summary: The relationship between abundance and environmental suitability in endemic species in the Australian Wet Tropics is strong, allowing for accurate prediction of species abundance at a high spatial resolution. Occurrence-based species distribution models show promise for robust abundance predictions, with potential significant impacts on species conservation and management decisions.

High-density camera trap grid reveals lack of consistency in detection and capture rates across space and time

Joseph M. Kolowski et al.

Summary: Camera traps are commonly used to infer species occupancy, population density, and species abundance, but our study suggests that individual camera stations may not effectively sample animal presence and usage frequency due to idiosyncrasies in animal movement and measured/unknown micro-site characteristics.Recommendations for spatial replication within sites are made to minimize the impact of relevant micro-site characteristics that may be hard to identify.

Deconstructing the abundance-suitability relationship in species distribution modelling

Alberto Jimenez-Valverde et al.

Summary: Estimating local suitability with species distribution models (SDMs) can indicate the maximum abundance attainable by species, but the abundance-suitability relationship is typically wedge-shaped. The shape of this relationship is directly related to maximum abundance and is influenced by SDM quality and species prevalence.
