Forecasting fish distribution along stream networks: brown trout (Salmo trutta) in Europe
07-05-2013 | Ana Filipa Filipe, Danijela Markovic, Florian Pletterbauer, Clément Tisseuil, Aaike Wever, Stefan Schmutz, Núria Bon ..., Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Species inhabiting fresh waters are severely affected by climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. Effective management and conservation plans require advances in the accuracy and reliability of species distribution forecasts. Here, we forecast distribution shifts ...
Species distribution modelling for the people: unclassified landsat TM imagery predicts bird occurrence at fine resolutions
07-05-2013 | S. M. Shirley, Z. Yang, R. A. Hutchinson, J. D. Alexander, K. McGarigal, M. G. Betts, Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Assessing the influence of land cover in species distribution modelling is limited by the availability of fine‐resolution land‐cover data appropriate for most species responses. Remote‐sensing technology offers great potential for predicting species distributions at large ...
Uncertainties in coupled species distribution–metapopulation dynamics models for risk assessments under climate change
06-05-2013 | Ilona R. Naujokaitis‐Lewis, Janelle M. R. Curtis, Lutz Tischendorf, Debbie Badzinski, Kathryn Lindsay, Marie‐Josée F ..., Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) coupled with metapopulation dynamics models can integrate multiple threats and population‐level processes that influence species distributions. However, multiple sources of uncertainties could lead to substantial differences in model ...
Using internet intelligence to manage biosecurity risks: a case study for aquatic animal health
06-05-2013 | Aidan Lyon, Geoff Grossel, Mark Burgman, Mike Nunn, Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim AquaticHealth.net is an open‐source aquatic biosecurity intelligence gathering and analysis application. The system collects information in much the same way as other similar systems (e.g. HealthMap, BioCaster). However, the information collected undergoes minimal automated ...
Economic aspects of post‐border weed risk management
06-05-2013 | Susan M. Hester, Oscar J. Cacho, F. Dane Panetta, Cindy E. Hauser, Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Decision‐making in weed management involves consideration of limited budgets, long time horizons, conflicting priorities, and as a result, trade‐offs. Economics provides tools that allow these issues to be addressed and is thus integral to management of the risks posed by ...
A Bayesian model of metapopulation viability, with application to an endangered amphibian
06-05-2013 | Geoffrey W. Heard, Michael A. McCarthy, Michael P. Scroggie, John B. Baumgartner, Kirsten M. Parris, Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Population viability analysis (PVA) is used to quantify the risks faced by species under alternative management regimes. Bayesian PVAs allow uncertainty in the parameters of the underlying population model to be easily propagated through to the predictions. We developed a ...
Predicting locations of rare aquatic species' habitat with a combination of species‐specific and assemblage‐based models
06-05-2013 | James E. McKenna, Douglas M. Carlson, Molly L. Payne‐Wynne, Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Rare aquatic species are a substantial component of biodiversity, and their conservation is a major objective of many management plans. However, they are difficult to assess, and their optimal habitats are often poorly known. Methods to effectively predict the likely ...
Practical solutions for making models indispensable in conservation decision‐making
06-05-2013 | Prue F. E. Addison, Libby Rumpff, S. Sana Bau, Janet M. Carey, Yung En Chee, Frith C. Jarrad, Marissa F. McBride, Ma ..., Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Decision‐making for conservation management often involves evaluating risks in the face of environmental uncertainty. Models support decision‐making by (1) synthesizing available knowledge in a systematic, rational and transparent way and (2) providing a platform for ...
A method for designing complex biosecurity surveillance systems: detecting non‐indigenous species of invertebrates on Barrow Island
06-05-2013 | Peter J. L. Whittle, Richard Stoklosa, Susan Barrett, Frith C. Jarrad, Jonathan D. Majer, P. A. J. Martin, Kerrie Me ..., Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim We developed a new method to design objective, risk‐based surveillance systems for non‐indigenous species of invertebrates, vertebrates and plants, which might be introduced to a natural area through an industrial project; here, we provide the invertebrate case study. The ...
The value of a datum – how little data do we need for a quantitative risk analysis?
06-05-2013 | Brian Leung, Russell J. Steele, Diversity and Distributions, 2013
Abstract Aim Conservation managers are typically faced with limited resources, time and information. The philosophy underlying risk assessment should be robust to these limitations. While there is a broad support for the concept of risk assessments, there is a tendency to rely on expert ...
