摘要: This paper describes the application of genetic algorithms, or GAs, to problem species distribution modelling. The first section GA algorithm, and a theoretical basis for applying it spatial predictive stages analysis particular follows. Genetic Algorithm Rule-set Production, GARP, is described: including preparation base data, location development set models using GARP verification prediction. final contains two applications with ecological interpretations. prediction explanation abundance Greater Glider Petauroides volons in Waratah Creek, Australia. second Cerulean Warbler Dendroica cerulea through climate modelling continental United States.
