Climatic extremes have been gathering momentum since the 1880s and are believed to be
a long-term factor increasing the mortality of Scots pine trees, Pinus sylvestris (L.) in Europe …

Land use/land cover changes (LULCCs) represent the result of the complex interaction
between biophysical factors and human activity, acting over a wide range of temporal and …

We propose here some refinements of the ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA) to
describe precisely one organism's habitat selection. The ENFA is based on the concept of …

Scattered cultivated lands in the agro-pastoral areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP)
cause pressure on the structure, function and evolvement of landscape and affect regional …

Cetaceans are mobile and spend long periods underwater. Because of this, modelling their
habitat could be subject to a serious problem of false absence. Furthermore, extensive …

Tree mortality from temperature-driven drought is occurring in forests around the world, often
in conjunction with bark beetle outbreaks when carbon allocation to tree defense declines …

The fungal pathogen Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg and O'Donnell) is the causal agent of
pine pitch canker (PPC) disease, which seriously affects conifer species in forests and …

Bark beetles of conifer trees in the Mediterranean basin play a relevant ecological and
economic role in forest ecosystem functioning. Their activity often reflects the health …

Phylogeographic studies are often focused on temperate European species with relict
footholds in the Mediterranean region. Past climatic oscillations usually induced range …

Simple Summary Predicting species distribution is a fundamental step for setting up
opportune control actions. The suitability of the environment for the establishment of the …
