Presentation Transcript

01
Species Distribution Models Characterize the environmental conditions that are suitable for the species
Identify where suitable environments are distributed in space Why might species only occupy part of the Fundamental Niche?<br>
02
Utility of SDM Identifying potential areas for disease outbreak
Examine niche evolution
Inform taxonomy
Conservation
reintroduction of species
identify priority sites for conservation
projecting spread of invasive species and disease<br>
03
SDM Approaches Mechanistic Models
Use physiologically limiting mechanisms to determine ability of species to live in an environment Correlative Models
Estimates environmental conditions suitable for a species by associating species occurrence records with environmental data that likely will affect species physiology and probability of persistence Required:
detailed understanding of the physiological response of species to environmental factors Required:
Species occurrence records
Environmental variables
Algorithms to connect the two<br>
