One of the main questions is what are the optimal ranges for each variable-velocity, depth, and substrate structure-that the species requires, and how do these ranges influence its development and survival? Given the scarcity of biological and ecological information on <em>Oxynoemacheilus bergianus</em> habitat selection at the mesoscale, this survey was designed to provide an answer to the aforementioned question. For this purpose, the effects of three main variables, including flow velocity, water depth, and substrate composition on the habitat selection of the species in a lotic ecosystem in northern Iran were evaluated. The results indicate that for the juvenile group, depths up to 20 cm, velocities of 15–20 cm.s-1, and a dominant substrate of fine and medium gravel are the most suitable ranges. For the adult group, depths of 20–30 cm, velocities of 15–30 cm.s-1, and small cobbles are preferred We addressed these questions using both univariate and multivariate approaches, which resulted in different variable importance, model accuracy, and uncertainty across methods. Specifically, flow velocity was identified as the most significant variable in the univariate analysis. The depth variable was more important in the multivariate approach. The minimum method (MI) and the arithmetic mean (AM) method had the lowest and highest error and uncertainty among the combined methods, respectively. The Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Random Forest Models (RF) approaches showed the most accurate models in the Species Distribution Models (SDMs) for juvenile and adult groups, respectively. Utilizing these vital results will empower managers to make informed decisions aimed at conserving O. bergianus, ultimately leading to effective strategies that protect its habitat and ensure the species' long-term survival.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51043,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Modelling","volume":"504 ","pages":"Article 111076"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143549300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measured sapling densities and individual sapling morphology along transects, and modelled colonization using hyperbolic kernel functions.

The results showed a clear effect of regional environments on the performance of mountain birch saplings. The effective spatial range of colonization varied greatly between regions, ranging from 16.6 m in areas with birch of low stature, to 67.4 m in the region with the tallest, straightest stems. We furthermore saw that individual sapling performance was a direct product of sheltering, as one kernel function parameter was significantly correlated with the tree morphology index used in this study. Our results highlighted the importance of sheltering from surrounding woodlands on both colonization patterns and on individual sapling performance, though sheltering effects are generally low in Iceland. This should be considered in research as well as practice by combining natural colonization with efficient localized planting.

Canary palms provide a higher-quality habitat for RPW than date palms. However, little is known about how RPW spreads between these palm species —whether it disperses randomly or host oriented. To explore how variation in Canary palm density affects RPW spread, we developed a coupled map lattice simulation model in artificial landscapes with alternating date palm plantations and villages, represented as patches with varying densities of Canary palms that enhance habitat connectivity between the date plantations. Dispersal between cells occurs based on cell scores that account for host abundance, dispersal behavior, and RPW attraction to palm hosts (oriented dispersal). Our results show that RPW spread rates are influenced by both cell scores and Canary palm densities. In landscapes with low Canary palm density, RPW spreads were limited under random dispersal. However, with a low degree of oriented dispersal, spread rates increase sharply with increasing Canary palm densities, and leveling off at the highest densities, suggesting that RPW uses these palms as stepping-stones to reach distant date plantations. At higher degrees of oriented dispersal, spread rates remain stable at low Canary palm densities, then increase linearly at higher densities. The sensitivity analysis highlighted key knowledge gaps on RPW dispersal, emergence patterns from different palm species, and the relative susceptibility of these species to infestation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51043,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Modelling","volume":"503 ","pages":"Article 111071"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental factors, along with climatic variables, can accelerate the process of bush encroachment, threatening both biodiversity and land use. Early identification of areas vulnerable to invasion is key to developing effective and cost-efficient management strategies. This study aims to model the distribution of invasive species across protected and communal landscapes under long-term climate change projections.

The results show a clear difference between the current and future scenarios of the spatial distribution in all the models. Applying a species distribution model (SDM) using both MaxEnt and RF produced a higher degree of prediction accuracy because RF is susceptible to overfitting training data while MaxEnt can produce predictable and complex results. Moreover, the overall predictions using the ensemble model demonstrated an increase in areas suitable for encroachment under RCP 8.5 but a decrease in the bush encroachment rate under RCP 2.6.

The first method establishes a residual dataset for the greenhouse environment using mechanistic models and trains this residual model with an LSTM neural network. The second method employs LSTM neural networks and mechanistic models to predict greenhouse climate, then weights and combines the predictions from both models to achieve more accurate forecasting of greenhouse climate. In these two hybrid models, the mechanistic models use optimization algorithms for parameter identification and are validated with data from four different periods. A comparison of the results from the mechanistic model and the LSTM greenhouse climate prediction model shows that the neural network residual correction model exhibits better prediction accuracy and generalization capability in handling uncertain climate environment data. In contrast, the weighted fusion model places higher demands on the base models and shows considerable uncertainty in adaptability to different environments.

Managing human-beaver interactions is a multifaceted issue due to the many variables involved, but the complexity of these interactions can be analysed effectively using system dynamics models. These models are used in many contexts, including wildlife management, to simulate a variety of management policies and assess their effects. The present study addressed gaps in the literature by developing a system dynamics model that examined both the benefits and conflicts that arise from human-beaver interactions. The model, implemented using Vensim PLE software, synthesised qualitative and quantitative data to simulate four simulation scenarios: ecological, social, economic, and policy making. The study examined the dynamics of beaver populations, ecosystem service provision, social perceptions, and management strategies in a case study of the Ivrea lakes area in the Piedmont region (Italy). Model predictions highlights that beaver populations stabilized logistically, influencing ecosystem services and residual capital, while social acceptance stongly reduced management costs and social pressure. Optimal budget allocation and combined strategies emerged as key to sustainable management and conflict mitigation. Overall, predictions suggest that an integrated approach that prioritises prevention and actively engages local communities can improve both ecological outcomes and social acceptance of beavers. The model is a useful decision and discussion tool for assessing management strategies and facilitating stakeholder involvement. Future studies should expand on these results by exploring additional beaver-related conflicts and benefits in diverse contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51043,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Modelling","volume":"503 ","pages":"Article 111057"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143463513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
