Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely used to project terrestrial species'
responses to climate change and are increasingly being used for similar objectives in the …

Predictions of the distribution of groundfish species are needed to support ongoing marine
spatial planning initiatives in Canadian Pacific waters. Data to inform species distribution …

Integrated distribution models (IDMs) predict where species might occur using data from
multiple sources, a technique thought to be especially useful when data from any individual …

Assessing the distribution of marine apex–predators is pivotal to understanding community
interactions and defining management goals. However, several challenges arise in both …

The organization and interaction between hepatocytes and other hepatic non-parenchymal
cells plays a pivotal role in maintaining normal liver function and structure. Although spatial …

Marine spatial planning and conservation initiatives benefit from an understanding of
species distributions across larger geographic areas than are often sampled by any one …

Fishery-independent longline surveys provide valuable data to monitor fish populations.
However, competition for bait on the finite number of hooks leads to biased estimates of …

Many natural systems are observed as point patterns in time, space, or space and time.
Examples include plant and cellular systems, animal colonies, earthquakes, and wildfires. In …

Conservation management planning for highly mobile species requires an understanding of
the distribution of areas that are biologically important to the species of concern. Collecting …

Monitoring technologies now provide real‐time animal location information, which opens up
the possibility of developing forecasting systems to fuse these data with movement models …
