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.

Increasing livestock grazing, the unintended consequence of community development funding on giant panda habitat

Binbin Li et al.

Summary: Indirect approaches like ICDP aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty alleviation, but the case study in China after 12 years revealed that ICDP funds increased the likelihood of households becoming livestock owners, especially in terms of horses, which may degrade endangered species habitats. Short-term success in reducing resource dependence and fostering community development could potentially hinder long-term conservation goals, highlighting the need for future projects to establish long-term mechanisms and incentivize community self-interest in conservation.

Factors affecting the home range of Dinaric-Pindos brown bears

Daniele De Angelis et al.

Summary: The research suggests that bears alter their space-use patterns at the home range level in response to anthropogenic land use and food availability. Bears living in human-influenced areas tend to avoid human settlements and agricultural lands but concentrate their use near supplemental feeding sites. Additionally, the study found that bears have larger home ranges at night compared to during the day, and the size of their home ranges is inversely related to the density of supplemental feeding sites.

Anthropogenic edge effects in habitat selection by sun bears in a protected area

Thye Lim Tee et al.

Summary: Wildlife populations in Southeast Asia are threatened by various human activities, with Malayan sun bears facing significant declines due to forest conversion, human-bear conflicts, and illegal wildlife trade. Sun bears alter their behavior and habitat selection in response to anthropogenic activities at the edges of the Tabin Wildlife Reserve, with proximity to roads serving as a surrogate measure of human accessibility and activity. Smaller protected areas bordered by plantations are predicted to have greater impacts on sun bear behavior and population persistence, suggesting the need for management measures to improve edge habitat security for vulnerable species.
