Context Habitat loss and fragmentation are main drivers of biodiversity loss and are
occurring at an accelerating rate globally. Carnivores are often subject to persecution and …

Conservation of large carnivores requires preservation of extensive core habitats and
linkages among them. The goal of this study was to identify core habitats and corridors by …

Climate change is one of the major challenges to the current conservation of biodiversity.
Here, by using the brown bear, Ursus arctos, in the southernmost limit of its global …

Habitat fragmentation has major negative impacts on wildlife populations, and the
connectivity could reduce these negative impacts. This study was conducted to assess …

Large forested tracts are increasingly rare in the tropics, where conservation managers are
often presented with the challenge of preserving biodiversity in small and isolated …

Distribution range shift is inevitable for many species as climate change continues to shape
and alter their habitat. Predicting where these shifts occur can help us know what to …

Multiple studies have used species distribution models to identify human–wildlife conflict
drivers. An important application of these models is spatial conflict resolution by accounting …

Identifying spatial gaps in conservation networks requires information on species-
environment relationships, and prioritization of habitats and corridors. We combined multi …

Habitat modeling is one of the most common practices in ecology today, aimed at
understanding complex associations between species and an array of environmental …

Human encroachment in natural habitats and consequent landscape modifications pose
significant threats to animal populations, particularly endangered species. Therefore …
