Implications of movement for species distribution models - Rethinking environmental data tools.

摘要: Abstract Movement is considered an essential process in shaping the distributions of species. Nevertheless, most species distribution models (SDMs) still focus solely on environment-species relationships to predict occurrence Furthermore, currently used indirect estimates movement allow assess habitat accessibility, but do not provide accurate description movement. Better proxies are needed dispersal potential individual and gain a more practical insight interconnectivity communities. Telemetry techniques rapidly evolving highly capable explicit descriptions movement, their usefulness for SDMs will mainly depend ability these deal with hitherto unconsidered ecological processes. More specifically, integration likely affect environmental data requirements as connection between biological crucial reliable results. Mobility implies occupancy continuum space, hence adequate representation both geographical space paramount study mobile distributions. In this context, models, remote sensing animal-borne sensors discussed obtain suitable data. order in-depth review aforementioned methods, we have chosen use modelling fish case study. The high mobility often variable nature aquatic environment generally complicate model development, making it subject research. into great interest stock assessments water management worldwide, underlining its relevance.
