SDMs are not new to conservation, but their popularity has increased dramatically in recent
years. This step-by-step review provides an overview of the efficacy of SDMs in guiding …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are algorithms designed to infer the distribution of
species using environmental and biotic variables and have become an important tool for …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to global biodiversity. Felids, among the
many taxa experiencing population declines and range contraction around the world, are …

Scale is a vital component to consider in ecological research, and spatial resolution or grain
size is one of its key facets. Species distribution models (SDMs) are prime examples of …

Biodiversity loss and habitat degradation are big challenges to be tackled by conservation
planning since their effects on both ecological and social-economic systems are remarkably …

Wild animals usually respond to different landscape features at different spatial scales. The
adoption of multi-scale modeling frameworks in habitat suitability modeling studies have …

Replicated multiple scale species distribution models (SDMs) have become increasingly
important to identify the correct variables determining species distribution and their …

In many countries, bats have high conservation prioritisation owing to their trophic position,
habitat associations and threat level, and many have dedicated management plans …

The effects of roads on bats have been largely neglected until recently, despite growing
evidence for profound effects on other wildlife. Roads destroy, fragment and degrade …

Streams and their riparian areas are important habitats and foraging sites for bats feeding on
emergent aquatic insects. Chemical pollutants entering freshwater streams from agricultural …
