TL;DR: In this paper, the Western Swiss Alps is used as a case study to show how integrating species richness derived from species distribution model predictions for four taxonomic groups under present and future climate and land-use conditions into two conservation prioritization schemes can help optimize extant and future PAs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prioritization approach based on scenarios maximising both the provision of ecosystem services and the conservation of biodiversity hotspots is proposed, where different weighting scenarios for the α diversity in four taxonomic groups and 10 mapped ecosystem services were used to simulate varying priorities of policymakers in a mountain region.

Accounting for niche truncation to improve spatial and temporal predictions of species distributions
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compare the performance of a traditional SDM fitted on a regional dataset (Switzerland) to predictions obtained from data integration methods that combine regional and European datasets for several bird species breeding in Switzerland.
Modeling the effects of grassland management intensity on biodiversity
TL;DR: Landscape‐wide, spatially explicit projections of the potential distribution of orthopteran‐rich grasslands as possible foraging grounds for insectivorous vertebrates are built to enable the delineation of focal farmland areas in order to prioritize conservation action.

Spatial coincidence between mining activities and protected areas of giant panda habitat: The geographic overlaps and implications for conservation
Kunyuan Wanghe,Xinle Guo,Faxiang Hu,Shahid Ahmad,Xiaowen Jin,Tauheed Ullah Khan,Yanqing Xiao,Xiaofeng Luan +7 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used the official data of mining operation areas to detect the correlation among mining surfaces, panda populations, as well as their habitat and protected areas and proposed a biodiversity factor index (BDF) to empirically test the potential influences of mining activities on wildlife habitat or protected areas.

Efficacy of species distribution models (SDMs) for ecological realms to ascertain biological conservation and practices
TL;DR: A survey and analysis of published work on the use of SDM in ecological rejuvenation and conservation from 2002 to 2023 (May) is conducted, finding a total of 739 papers and the number of papers increased after 2016.

TL;DR: Internal estimates monitor error, strength, and correlation and these are used to show the response to increasing the number of features used in the forest, and are also applicable to regression.
Maximum entropy modeling of species geographic distributions
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of the maximum entropy method (Maxent) for modeling species geographic distributions with presence-only data was introduced, which is a general-purpose machine learning method with a simple and precise mathematical formulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that tremendous progress could be made by halting agricultural expansion, closing ‘yield gaps’ on underperforming lands, increasing cropping efficiency, shifting diets and reducing waste, which could double food production while greatly reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture.
