Impacts of habitat degradation on tropical montane biodiversity and ecosystem services: a systematic map for identifying future research priorities
MCK Soh, NJ Mitchell, AR Ridley, CW Butler… - Frontiers in Forests …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Tropical montane forests (TMFs) are major centers of evolutionary change and harbor many
endemic species with small geographic ranges. In this systematic map, we focus on the …

Will remote sensing shape the next generation of species distribution models?
Two prominent limitations of species distribution models (SDM s) are spatial biases in
existing occurrence data and a lack of spatially explicit predictor variables to fully capture …

Estimating species richness and modelling habitat preferences of tropical forest mammals from camera trap data
Medium-to-large mammals within tropical forests represent a rich and functionally diversified
component of this biome; however, they continue to be threatened by hunting and habitat …

Assessing the activity pattern overlap among leopards (Panthera pardus), potential prey and competitors in a complex landscape in Tanzania
Studying activity patterns and temporal overlap among carnivores and their putative prey is
difficult because of their secretive and elusive nature. With large carnivores declining …

Evolutionary history of the thicket rats (genus Grammomys) mirrors the evolution of African forests since late Miocene
Aim Grammomys are mostly arboreal rodents occurring in forests, woodlands and thickets
throughout sub‐Saharan Africa. We investigated whether the divergence events within the …
